Hello lovely people.
I`m Marcel a childcarer from Germany. I got addicted to traveling. After I quit my job back home I go for 2 years to Australia. Traveled around and worked in different places. Than I go back home for Christmas suprised my family and friends, found a great job and quit them after one year again. This time I went with my girlfriend Jenny and currently we enjoy one year in New Zealand. Shortly before we startet our trip I had an accident and got a knee injury. So after 3 months in New Zealand I still walking with crutches. Finding a job with this handicap is not this easy and we run short with our money soon. Currently we use kiwi housesitter and well it works good. It`s cool to stay in a house and carring for all this pets. For the gaps between our stays we`ll try to find some couches and meet some more people. Hopefully we`ll meet us soon :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the concept. meeting local people and stay with them and share experience is the most beautiful way to travel. I used CS in Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan and I´m sure I without CS I wouldn`t have so much nice experiences. It was allways wonderful and I've just have good memories.
