Welcome to my couch(-profile)! :-)

My friends say I'm an open minded and friendly person. I left my home country Germany in September 2017 and I travelled with a nomadic lifestyle until I built my home base in Ecuador in 2023.
On my spiritual path, I love to meet other travelers and locals to learn more about them, their culture and to share stories. I have lots of stories to tell and I'm curious about yours!

My hobbies are photography, scuba diving, hiking, traveling and in winter I like to hop on a snowboard. I am working remotely, creating websites, mobile apps and all types of design (logos, illustrations, art, web,...).

I am eating mostly vegan with some vegetarian exceptions and love cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people from all over the world and I'm interested in new ways of life, perspectives and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kinds of music depending on the current situation, environment and the people around.
Most movies I watch are documentaries. Many of my sentences start with: "I saw this documentary about.... and there I learned .... " :-D
Reading is a thing I always want to do more, and I am reading usually at least 3 books at the same time, of which I maybe one finish. But when I finish them, they were either really good non-fiction books about our universe, physics or historical fiction books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German and support you in some topics in Computer Science or Photography. I love to share vegan recipes and about permaculture and gardening knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking (vegan/vegetarian) food and I can help out with computer stuff.
