About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding happiness and my place on this world

ABOUT ME

I'm an uncomplicated, open minded person, who likes to travel a lot. I love being outside and spend time in nature or on the water. I used to work as a freelance Photographer/ Cinematographer in Germany, but then I decided to build a Tiny House myself and move with it to South England, to study Yacht Design. Now that I’ve finished my degree and had enough of the form life it is time to travel again.

PHILOSOPHY

"happiness only real when shared" - Christopher McCandless

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way to meet locals and to see a country from a different perspective. When you connect with the locals you get a different and deeper experience of a city/ country. I had great experiences with hosts all around the world and am looking for many more to come.

Interests

I'm interested in sports, such as triathlon, Mountain-biking, Sailing and other water sports. Another passion is photography and filming. Of course I just love traveling and try to go abroad whenever I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences of traveling and show you great pictures of my journeys. I like to talk and share my knowledge of sailing and boats. I would say I am a pretty decent cook and happy to share some typical home made Bavarian dishes.
