Hey there, I’m Fabian :)
For the past two years I’ve been working and living in Brazil on indigenous peoples’ rights and environmental protection. Sounds a bit nerdy and that’s what it actually is, but I love it I’m very interested in current politics, philosophy, nature, travel and photography, and love to spend time exploring new perspectives in any of those topics or getting to know something completely new. I'm very much into food. I'm a vegetarian with a huge passion for Indian food. Whenever I'm free, I love to work out (running and swimming), read (non-fiction, but also a bit of fiction) and keep up to date with my family and friends. Oh, and I’m gay, so as long as you’re not homophobic, hit me up :) Can’t wait to get to know u! Abraços

I'm fully vaccinated :) If you're not, be so kind to stay away from me (unless there's a non-political explanation for that).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, share travel stories, laugh and think deeply about the state of the world. I wanna get to know new people and perspectives aaaand I've got this crazy idea of biking through Asia at some point or driving a VW bus through the Americas ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Impossible to choose between hiking up an active volcano in the Congo and staring down into a boiling lake of lava after hanging out with a group of wild gorillas, solo driving and getting stuck in the mud in the middle of the Amazon rainforest on my way to an indigenous village, skinny dipping in crystal clear waterfalls under a canopy of a bazillion stars in the Brazilian savannah, driving my scooter through India’s Goa state… anyways, there’s plenty of stories that i’m happy to share with you when we meet😋
