Hey there!

My name is Janathan Michael, I grew in Tijuana, Mexico. When I was 19 I decided to make my life a bit more exciting so I decided to start traveling, at first I started traveling with academic purposes, after that I realized that outside there is a unknown world and it's ready to be discovered.

Since that age I haven't stop moving constantly, first I started around my own country going to different states, then something amazing happened, I got this opportunity to come to Germany for 1 year so I took the challenge and every time I could I tried to travel around here, I have seen amazing souls, creative people just trying to make a difference and leave something of them somewhere in this continent.

Now, I have finished my PhD as a chemist, and I’m working at the University Hospital in Heidelberg as a postdoctoral research fellow.

I would consider myself as a very open-minded person, I don't judge people, I think that I'm no one to do that, we all have our life style and we are happy with it. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling unites us, I'm eager to find other wandering souls and to share experiences and amazing stories.
