About Me

ABOUT ME

I studied civil engineering in Dresden(Saxony). After that I moved to Greifswald which is a small town close to the baltic sea in germany and worked there as a civil engineer for a while. In my free time I like to do sports like kite-surfing, snowboarding, volleyball or squashing. In my holidays I like to travel (I would never book an All-Inclusive-Hotel!) sometimes by hitchhiking, somtimes by motocycle or even by feet.

ABOUT Sophie
sophie has just finished studying (german language and communication sciences), loves good food, vegan cooking and is constantly trying out new recipes. she is interested in novels, true crime podcast and loves long walks in nature

In november 2019 me and my girlfriend Sophie are going to do a working-holiday-trip in canada. We will be in Vancouver first. At the moment we don't have any other plans where to go and what to do in canada. Of course we have some ideas but none of them are strictly planed.

For example Sophie wants to work at a horse farm. So probably we will sing in to Workaway to check out our opportunities....

We hope to get some new friends in canada and just have a nice time with them. We want to see some cool places and learn from what life is giving us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling I like getting contacts to the locals and I think couchsurfing is a great way for that.
I like to cook with my friends - so if you can host us - we probably will invite you to cook and have dinner with us :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With a friend I did a part of the camino de santiago. Not a big part (about 250km) but I had a really good time there and really enjoyed the nature while walking and the people when arriving at the albergue.

Another nice tour I did with my girlfriend and a couple of other friends was in vietnam. We flew to HCMC and bought us motocycles there. Then we traveled though the country and met a lot of nice people on tour. When we arrived in Hanoi we selled the motocycles again and flew back to germany. We had about 5 weeks for this tour. Should have been more!

Acually the are lots of stories to tell but hopefully I can tell them in person ;)
