It is a huge privilege to be able to explore the remote and the vivid places of our marvelous planet.

I'm that type of guy who rescues earthworms from the road.
All in all a positive attitude, love for challenges. I'm an endless source of useless information.
I love to laugh and I'm passionate about doing sports and enjoying good food.
After school I was working for two years with horses and mules. Giving me enough savings for low budget travels.
My favourite mediums of transport are bicycle, hitchhiking, ferry and railroad.
Basically all my stuff is second hand. I try to save resources and waste. At home I'm vegetarian. On the road I want to try all the local dishes.

2022 I started a one year long back/bikepacking journey through mainly Turkiye, Iran, Pakistan and India made possible by CS and hospitality mainly.

2024 second sabbatical. I took the Transiberian Railroad and backpacked mostly through Russia, Mongolia and China. Then cycled through South Korea and Japan. Now I'm back in China heading west.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting interesting peoples learn about other cultures, make new friends, experience the locals perspective in a country and learn new things. And honestly to safe money xD
