Hey everyone!
I am Leo, 20 years old and I am currently living as an au pair in Vancouver. I grew up in Stuttgart, Germany.
I am a pretty open and curious person and I simply love travelling, meeting new people and getting to know new cultures and traditions.
By the end of March I will be done working as an au pair and my journey begins. Firstly, I´m going to go on a backpacking trip for 3 weeks in Hawaii (Oahu and probably the Big Island). After two more weeks in Vancouver I´ll cross Canada by train (via rail). On my trip I´ll stop in Jasper, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Kingsron, Montreal, Quebec and Halifax. I´m very excited about it and I hope that I´ll meet a lot of people on my trip. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that living with local people is the most authentic way to really get to know a new place and to get a feeling about the people living there.
Also, I love the idea of exchanging cultures and experiences and to maybe meet again on a different continent:D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spontaneously went on a trip to Vancouver Island. I did not have a tent, I did not have a car, I did not have a plan. Everything worked out. I met people with a tent and a car and we made plans.
