About Me

Well i try to be an adventurer and experience the awe feeling that comes from traveling and wandering.
I've a Bachelor in Informatics, studied Physics for one year and currently attending lectures about English literature. Although i love to learn and books are very dear freinds of mine but when you get to experience the world and turn your theoretical knowledge into the actual expierence, then you feel truly connected and that surreal feeling that every traveller gets is the reason why we get out of our comfortzones and try to dive into the wonders of the world. That's why i am trying to live and learn as much as i can, as well as interact with interesting people because everyone has lots of stories that you wont read in text books.
Nature is the place where i dont have to think instead i just live, like a tree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

well first of all you get to meet interesting people because every host in Couchsurfing is a traveller or loves to be one, and i think every traveller and travelling enthusist has an amazing view of this world and wonderful stories to tell.
Meeting locals are what travel is all about and experience the true nature of the place you are visiting can't be compared with the touristic process in which everything is presented to attract but without the honesty and beauty of the place itself.

Interests

I love Nature, Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Travelling, Reading, Writing...
Am enthusist about learning either from books or from people and experiences.
