About Me

I am a student of urban sociology at TU Berlin, which I will be finishing by the end of the year.
On the side I work in social research and other side jobs.
I grew up in Cologne, West Germany, which accounts for my silly humor.
After school, I studied cultural and political history in Maastricht, NL.
Then moved to Berlin, where I've been living (and studying) the past five years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a member of CS for some time. I've used it as host and as guest, have had almost only nice experiences. The past two years have been a bit low because I've mostly travelled to festivals or with family and friends, so did not have the time and space to connect through Couchsurfing. I'd like to regain some exposure though.

Interests

I love to cook, since my youth I've been the go-to-guy for family and friends when it comes to a fine meal.

Photography - a hobby for the past years. Got my first camera, an analog Nikon F-301, when I was 12.

Boxing - a new hobby, since 2017. My coach says, I've become good at it. My opponnents still hit me too often though.

Cycling - a necessity and a hobby. Have climbed Mont Ventoux twice, last time last year. It's still more murderous to cycle through Berlin though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food prepared by me - as said, I enjoy preparing just that!

Maybe a personal portrait, shot on analogue film and printed in my darkroom - it will take a few weeks, but after that you will have a black/white - portrait made by your recent guest ;)

Fun conversations - serious conversations - profound silence... I can do it all
