Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Peter and I am 63 years old (but younger at heart 😉). I am married to Dagmar and we have two children – Rafael (31), and Tabita (27) – and our dog. I studied computer science, with psychology and philosophy as minor subjects. After spending more than 35 years working in software development and IT, I’m now enjoying early retirement. We live close to Nuremberg, but originally, I come from a small town near Bremen.
I like to spend my time with my wife and family, my friends and with our Border Collie, “Hanni”. I really enjoy meeting new people. I’m curious to learn more about other cultures and I love sharing and discussing our respective perspectives and attitudes.
I’ve done improvisational theatre, both as an actor and as trainer. Last summer I staged a play with children at our local elementary school and currently, I am working with a senior theatre group on a play.
I love being in nature, especially swimming in lakes, biking, or hiking with our dog. But I also enjoy visiting museums and art exhibitions, having coffee with a yummy cake on the side, playing board or card games, and watching theatre plays or a good movie or series.

What else ...

I enjoy a good night's sleep (8 hours++) in a private bedroom (a shared bathroom is fine). Since I usually travel by public transport, it would be nice if a bicycle could be provided.
