About Me

I'm a mechanical engineering student from Germany. I just finished my year abroad in Hong Kong with such unique and growing experiences. On my way back home I took the transsibirian train from Beijing to Ulan-Bator and through Russia with a lot of stops in different cities. Now I'm in Estonia where I want to try out couchsurfing. So it's my first time doing couchsurfing. That's why I have no references yet but would be very happy if you give me a chance. You won't regret.
I'm very adventurous, always curious and want to meet people from all over the world.
I believe that only by going out of your comfortzone you can grow and learn.

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and experiencing new and different cultures. And I think Couchsurfing provides a much deeper insight into the place, the culture and the people's life than just staying in hostels. You meet people you would never meet otherwise, share stories and activities, be inspired and learn.

Interests

I love nature and being active. So I like almost all kinds of outdoor sports. I love hiking in the mountains, rockclimbing and mountainbiking. And I started sea kayaking in Hong Kong. I also do surfing, but I'm a very beginner.
If it is in the nature, most definitely I will like it. And I love lonely places and landscapes, the less people, the better ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many types of music, from Reggae to Rap to Pop music, depending on the song.
Some of my favourite books are "Der Steppenwolf" and "Siddharta" by Hermann Hesse and "Way of the peaceful warrior". They are all about self-discovery and authenticity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
