CURRENT MISSION

After graduating from University, I take six months off before starting to work. Just came home from a three months trip through Africa and will now spend 3 months in BC for the winter season

ABOUT ME

I started backpacking way too late in my life - but better late than never. After two long trips to Africa there are other places in the world I want to see.

I'm interested in mostly all kinds of sports and I love traveling just as pure backpacking should be. At the end of a day a cool beer with an amazing landscape in the background and nice people around me - it doesn't need more to make me happy!

The best experience about traveling is not the things you see, but the people you meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

On my trip through south america I'ld like to meet new people and get in touch with locals, not only other travelers. Couchsurfing is a perfect oportunity to meet people while you also have the advantage of a roof over your head :)
I hosted in my former appartment in Innsbruck some times, but not via couchsurfing, so my profile is still pretty empty, I hope some people will host me anyway, I will balance my karma as soon as i have an appartment again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be honest, a lot of couchsurfing experience with friends or friends' friends, not very much with new people, I'm looking forward to it!

Interests

Skiing, mountainbiking, hiking, quite everything you can do in the mountains. Furthermore traveling, of course, and as bavarian, I'm always available for a cool beer
