My name is Philipp Grözinger.

I am currently bikecycling across Canada. I left Darthmouth on the 29 of June with minimum Montreal as goal. The Route will be NS, EPI, peninsula Gasps, then along the Saint Lorrens Current.

I work as freelance First Mate/Caotain on expedition vessels and Tallships, mainly going North to the Arctic or South to the Antarctic. Every turn of work I connect with traveling the country before I step onboard.
My second profile would be Professional Nomade! I organize my life while being on the road or an sea!
Having left Germany for over 18 years, now I am getting more interested in my now Country, in who is living around me? what do the think?, how do they feel? and what do they know that I don't know? And what don´t they know what I know?

PHILOSOPHY
If I can´t dance, I don´t want to be a part of the revolution. If I can´t sail neither!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually through this web I do not have any expierence. But I am a hitchhiker and couch surfer (still!) since I was a boy scout in Lübeck and started to travel around by my own or with a fried.
Way before the internet we like like the "We-ask- the-cousin-of the neighbors-milkman-Method".
I received and welcomes people to my place as I was invited from other people to their home.
I made very nice experiences and long staying memories!
