CURRENT MISSION

Work to live – not the other way around.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Mathias.
I'm a 34 year old, laid-back and open-minded guy from Hamburg, Germany.
For a living I work as a copywriter.
But when I try to get out of the office as often as I can to travel and surf.
But since Germany is not necessarily famous for its waves I try to get my regular dose of ocean and surf elsewhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and be friendly.
Live and let live.
That's pretty much it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to travel away from the common tourist track and get to know interesting and friendly local people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Besides housing friends for a weekend now and then I got no experience.
But some friends of mine have (all great).
Edit: I couchsurfed in Mexico in 2014 and the hospitality I enjoyed was unbelievable.

Interests

a lot: surfing, traveling, football, movies, books, eating, drinking, sleeping – just to name some.

• books
• beer
• drinking
• movies
• traveling
• surfing
• soccer
• track and field

Music, Movies, and Books

Also quite a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to visit some very inspiring and awesome places and met some great people along the way.
Hopefully this trip keeps on like this.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just because we started two world wars doesn't mean Germans cannot be friendly and laid-back guys:)
I would look forward to prove it to you.
Besides that I'm a professional copywriter so I always look for some interesting stories.
If you like I import some german beer for you, though.
