CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world

"Vorrei vivere diverso in paesi lontani, vorrei morire altro fra bandiere sconosciute"

ABOUT ME

I love exploring the world, travelling, meeting new exciting People, learning foreign languages, discovering and trying out all crazy things around me. Whether it's about building a boat and going down the Rhine, riding on busroofs in Nepal, sleeping in abandoned Villas in Sicily or just climbing at a crane on a construction site to admire the stars, I'm always in for an adventure!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had some of the most surprising and interesting travel experiences through Couchsurfing. Once I stayed with a family for a week in a lost industrial city in Kazakhstan, where even with a lot of fantasy you could not find anything worth visiting and yet I think I gained a deeper understanding of the country and culture than in the previous 1000km. There are so many amazing places on Earth, but while scratching off our travel map and adding countries to our list I think we often just stay there, at the surface. Couchsurfing has helped me to scratch deeper :)

Teach, Learn, Share
