ABOUT ME Hey folks! I am a German travelling the Americas north-south for about one year. I started in California in January 2019 and hope to arrive at Patagonia somewhen at the end of the year. From Mexico onwards I will be travelling with my girlfriend Elena, who I will meet there in February. But even though we have a rough sketch of the trip, we don’t want to make too many plans, so let’s see where the wind and life take us as we move along. Both of us worked for some years before that trip and we thought it would be now, at the beginning of our 30s, the ideal time to go break free for an extended period of time and explore the world before being tied down by anything (kids, mortgage and the like... :) we are very exited about it as we have been planning this for over a year. I love to meet new people or to catch up with my old friends, hear about new ideas and share mine. I feel home being outdoors, cycling, hiking, climbing, sailing... I am curious , easygoing and polite.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
