My name is Martin (67) and I am a retired teacher of sports and history living in Austria. In June 2019, I started my biggest adventure so far and cycled around the world (22.000 km). As with previous expeditions (look at www.heliomar.at (link is external)") I was successful in raising funds for aid projects with documentation. On my journey I made great experiences with hospitality on Couchsurfing and Warmshowers(a platform for cyclists). Because my living place has no great attractions, I had no requests on Couchsurfing so far, but I had many guests on Warmshowers where you can find references(look at my photos). I hope to be able to host many interesting people in future.

P.S. You can find my profile under “heliomar”. My E-Mail Adress is hilux1998@gmx.at (link sends e-mail)
Having no reference as a host on Couchsurfing, you can find here some:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far I have had the best hospitality experience in Ukraine and Russia. To see the war between these countries makes me sad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer my guests a private room and a dinner. And hints about sights in my environment

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell my hosts interesting details about my previous adventures. I am also a good listener enjoying stories also as from host as guests.
