About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The South Americas have magnetically attracted my interest since I first watched documentaries about the most energetic continent on this planet.

Therefore I am on a mission, to explore it all - the people, the nature and the language (estoy aprendiendo español)

🇧🇷 Brasil is definitely destined to be there for at the carnival and blocos 🥳 and for seeing the beautiful beaches in a road trip with a local friend 🏝

🇦🇷 In Argentina I want to find my side of the family 👪 who emigrated here in 1922! And I want to see the wilderness. Since I saw it in documentaries as a chid I want to hear how the glaciers break.

🇨🇱 In Chile I will have a quick lucky layover. My first dip to get it on my list for the next travels.

🇨🇴 In Columbia I want to reunite with a Couchsurfing friend and maybe go on a motorcycle trip 🏍 And I´ll attend a wedding in Medellin💃🕺

And on my way, I definitely want to keep my Couchsurfing spirit and meet some great Couchsurfers.

Will it be you?

ABOUT ME

I'm a very active and sportive guy, loving to chat and experience new things and the little everyday adventures life offers us.

But the best way to get to know me:
find out by yourself - and enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Be always better than you were yesterday. Absorb what you believe in as good and spread it to those who want to listen.

Self-awareness is knowing one's qualities as well as limitations. Living means to exceed these limits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and travel and until today always made excellent experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Seems like I'm blessed. Ever since I participated in this community I had the great luck to host and be allowed to surf with great people - all of those exchanges were broadening my mind and some acquaintances even developed into very special friendships.

Hope for many more interesting and mind expanding experiences.
