About Me

I'm born and raised half German and half columbian, but I have lived my entire life in Switzerland. And because of the proximity to Germany I was and know alot of the city near to Berlin in witch my father was born and raised.
But Bogotá the capital of colombia and the hometown of my mother was to me always more like a city I know for holidays and not somthing I can really tell about as something I'm familiar with. Thats why my main Goal after my studies is to travel up the whole panamerican route and stay a heck of alot of time in colombia to really get to know where my roots are from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to Travel through hole southamerica with a van when I get older, so this is a really good option to learn the solo traveling life while getting to meet knew people. For me its also a cheap and adventurous way to travel the World as an apprentice.
Also:
Two years Ago while Living in the Mountains my shared House consisted of 6 very fun People. We also had like 6 more Places for Couchsurfers. And I liked the Idea because we met New People nearly every second WEEK. Thats why I wanted to keep on with this Tradition as I now have my own Flat.
