In 2018, I took a break from university to travel by myself for the first time. I came back with so many new experiences, lots of them thanks to Couchsurfing. Solo travel has taught me so much: about myself, about the kindness in the people around us, about the differences in cultures around the world. But most importantly, it taught me that at the end of the.

Back in Munich, while finishing my degree, I started hosting whenever I managed to live somewhere with enough space to accommodate it.

In 2023, I finally embarked on a new journey I had been dreaming of for years: To travel around South-East Asia, with no plan and no return flight.

Feeling free and being my own master is one of my top priorities. I try to build my life around this goal, which has worked quite well so far and has given me incredible opportunities to venture off the beaten path. At the same time, I strive to make the world a better place, to leave places better than I found them, and to build my career around something that impacts the world positively.

I absolutely love juggling, especially together with others. There are so many juggling conventions around the world that provide awesome opportunities to meet new people and expand your horizon! Other hobbies include ultimate frisbee, salsa dancing and board games. I am also interested in all topics surrounding rational thinking and psychology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from around the world, to get to know their culture and life, to expand my world-view and to understand everybody's perspective, no matter how different they are. It is easy to stay in your local bubble, but you miss out on so many aspects of human life. The more I learn from and about people, the more I realize how little I know.

Life is short, let's fill it with extraordinary experiences together :)
