CURRENT MISSION

experience culture and architecture around the world

ABOUT ME

I am a young architect that enjoys traveling and experience different cultures, philosophies, food and buildings.

Went to a High School for a year in the US, taught English in China for a year, studied architecture in Germany and traveled to many different countries.

In Asia I was sometimes referred to as 'white Asian' and in Australia some Australians called me 'white Aborigine' - I love to dive into cultures and learn.

PHILOSOPHY

there are dozens of reasons to stay at home - there are millions of reasons to travel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You immediately make friends that know so much about a place, it's great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far I only surfed a little, but met very cool people!
I hosted together with my girlfriend, it's interesting to see it from the other side :-)

Interests

I love to take photos, see great architecture and listen to good music. I can walk for miles and sometimes like to do crazy stuff.
