Hi, my name is Jan and together with my partner Lucy I am currently cycling around the world. I am from Germany and have been working in London for 5 something years. In September 2017 I left London and cycled south to escape the winter. Without a timeframe or deadline and I will see how long the trip will take and where it will get me. Foremost, I hope to meet great people from all around the world.

We have a blog about our trip:

I am new to Couchsurfing and have been only on Warmshowers.com (couch surfing for cyclists) so far. Check out my profile with verifications: https://www.warmshowers.org/user/113508

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people around the world during my cycling trip as a guest and whenever I have a house again as a host.
