Hi, I am Clemens a recently graduated Geography student. Currently I am on a trip around the world with my girlfriend Marie. Marie is a midwife. We have both been living in Berlin, Germany for the past years and just started our new seven-months journey in Mai'23 with our first destination Uganda, next up is Canada.

The following profile will include information about both of us!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me, Clemens joined Couchsurfing during my voluntary year in Cambodia 2015/16. I had my first ever couchsurfing experiences being hosted in Thailand and India. When I came back to Germany, Berlin it was my time to give back, so I shared my couch to some guests around the world and simply loved the CS vibes.
Because of my bike-touring trips I changed to another similar platform called "warmshowers" (exclusively for bike touring).
Now Marie and I are ready for new adventures are looking forward to experience the Couchsurfing vibes again!

Interests

Both of us love outdoor adventures. We regularly go camping with tents or hammocks. Fun Fact: In Berlin we nearly cycle every day, commuting and freetime.

We traveled some countries together but this trip will be our longest so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could also teach you some basic Salsa and Bachata dance-moves if interested.
