Hi everyone! My name is Justus, I grew up in Berlin and lived in the UK for the past ten years. I've just moved away from Edinburgh after three beautiful years living and working in Scotland to start my PhD in climate and sustainability education in Montreal later this year. I love spending time outdoors, hiking, wild swimming and cycling; playing music, dancing and reading. I practice Capoeira, BJJ and Yoga, and have an active meditation practice. Most of all, I love people and their stories, and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a break from traveling due to a focus on work, environmental activism and the pandemic. Before beginning my PhD, I'm spending a few weeks roaming around eastern Europe. I'd love to meet people to exchange stories and knowledge - there's just nothing like those beautiful encounters.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music and have an eclectic taste. I love gentle folk music, rap and hip hop, abstract beats, desert blues, jazz, and much more. In terms of books, some of my recent favourites were: The Khazar Dictionary, The Ninth Life, Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about people and their stories and cultures. I can contribute many experiences from across the world, having traveled a lot in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia.
