CURRENT MISSION

At the moment I am traveling through South America.

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I am Jakob, 23 years old and I am from Germany.
When I hitchhiked from Toronto to Sydney (Nova Scotia) I learned about couch surfing.
Now I am studying in Leipzig, Germany. I´ve got 4 brothers, settled down all over Europe. Together with my girlfriend I want to travel through South America and get to know its people, culture and landscape. In the last 3 weeks of our 8 month we will visit Bogotá and the caribic coast.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live the change, which you wanna see in the world." - Ghandi -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will share my smile, knowledge and joy with you and would like to have nice discussions/conversations with you, about community, politics, or what ever you feel like. Silence can be shared too!
Ohh that almost sounded philosophic...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new, but once I was traveling in Canada, a guy invited me to his trailer in his back yard... Amazing.
