Hey, I am Kevin. I am a long-term traveller from Germany . I've been traveling for about 1 1/2 years now. Before I started traveling I used to work as a sales representive for a wholesaler for 5 years. I was selling bathrooms and staff like that. At some point I realised that I should start traveling before its to late - Now I know, acctually it's never to late to start traveling! It's just more about compromises..... ;-)
I am a outgoing person, I really like it to stay in the nature, take a walk, camp somewhere, sit with other people around a fire...
I used to sleep in a tent for 4 months when I was doing farmworker in Australia/Tasmania.
During the last years I have had a lot time to gain experiences, in many things. I am every time open minded for learning something new and sharing my experiences.

Also I love it to swim. In Germany I used to swim a lot. I was a lifeguard and did that for about 7 years. Now I am a bit out of condition but hopefully that gonna chance! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels I met hundreds of other travelers witch have had a really good time when they couchsurfed. I think it's a good thing to life together with somebody who knows everything about a town. So I learn something new and can share some expiriences in exchange ;-)

and well.. traveling is expensive.. :D
