CURRENT MISSION:
As usual, I'm engaged on my quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who's presumably responsible.

Also I'm traveling Portugal in July together with my girlfriend (around Porto first, at the NOS ALIVE festival in Lisbon later, then visiting the Azores from July 10th and hitchhiking back to Vienna (boat-&autostop) probably in August.
As the last 3 years allowed for little traveling and hosting, we're really looking forward to new adventures and everyone we meet along the way :)

PHILOSOPHY:
"Vivre le plus!"

Open minded guy with many fields of interest, very outgoing and easy to get along with. Also quite tall and therefore very useful if you need sth. from the top of a shelf. Also quite helpful if there's too much good food and not enough people to eat it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Fell in love with this way of travelling during my first hitchhiking adventure that lead me to Freiburg, Strasbourg, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö, Milano, Montpellier, Barcelona, Valencia, Barcelona again, Nizza and back to Vienna in 2016, all by couchsurfing and autostop: An experience I'll never forget - it really was a blast!
I was absolutely amazed how many lovely people I met along the journey. I'll be surfing/hosting again whenever possible (prefer surfers who'd host me back or did so already, who wanna stay longer than one day and spend some time together).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Held my breath for 5 minutes

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you to swim fast (freestyle and butterfly), some basics about freediving, chess, go and other games, cooking, chillin in a hammock, languages, how to develop a serious addiction to Italian Gelato... Happy to learn about you and everything you wanna teach :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs and some good conversation,
I love cooking and a good dinner is a nice way of giving back. Cleaning after myself goes without saying, happy to help where it's needed.
