About Me

With my wife we've been travelling 19 months from North through Central to south of South America - part by sailboat but mostly by bicycle.

I'm more technical guy (IT) and Evit is artistic (design), but both of us are very creative, like to meet new people, share experiences and knowledge, help others and learn new things ...

Currently we are enjoying the life with our little sons - Janko and Kolko

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've learned a lot during traveling and we would like to return the hospitality

We all must contribute to this world to make it a better place.
