I am Maggy from SouthTyrol/Italy. For my money I work as a barkeeper in a ApresSki at my home, I love to make films and make some small work as a cutter sometimes, I am a divemaster and I love the ocean. 2014 I was teamleader in Sea Shepherds Operation Grindstop on the Faroe Islands for 3 months. There I saved pilot whales. I got arrested during a "grind"(when whales get driven and killed), because I tried to save them. Here is a link to the video of my arrest:

Now I do a cycling trip, called www.cycle-for-the-ocean.rocks because I can't wait till there is no more whale, dolphin, shark or other animal in the ocean left. I must protect the ocean for our future generations, this became my battle in live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and to meet people. I make a cycle trip, called "cycle for the ocean" and couchsurfing is a great opportunity to travel cheap as well, cause I need the most of my money to protect the ocean and its habitats.
