About Me

After a 3 week Trip through marocco and 2 months on the road in the US - I settled down for Basketball Season in Vorarlberg, Austria and moved on to Innsbruck last year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First I just wanted to help people coming to Chemnitz and I got really into couchsurfing while planning my trip to the US.
Right now I am looking forward to host a few nice guests.

Interests

I´m a huge sports fan and tried a whole lot of different sports like basketball, beachvolleyball, soccer, skiing, track and field, flag football. My favorite is basketball which I play semi-pro in Europe.
Obviously I love traveling as well and getting to know people from all over the world. When I was younger my family and I used to travel around in any possible holiday.
Then I am always in awe seeing new places may it be great buildings or fascinating landscapes!
With travelling comes a hughe interest in history and Stories of people you meet and countries you visit.
