I'm Max, I'm 27 with a bunch of energy and wonder for the world and I'm pretty much obsessed with new places and cultures. I love nature, mountains, water.. hiking, skiing, biking, swimming, Calisthenics. Back in Europe after being in Latin America and visiting Egypt and Turkey, and now visiting friends and family in Germany. Soon I'll be looking for work in Spain or Italy. I'm excited to be back in Europe and looking forward to making connections, long term friends, awesome adventures, and hopefully some nice multi day treks in the Alps this year

I love exploring, walking for hours in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet different people from amazing places, exchange cultures, learn and possibly make lasting friendships. I want to see and learn how people around my age live in different parts of the world, the world is so big! I also like different views on the world, debating, growing and learning.

I'm responsible and really reliable so if i say something I mean it and I'm considerate. If you want to talk and exchange that's great! If you're tired or very busy for whatever reason that's okay too, I'm independent and easy going and I can spend days traveling alone.

Interests

Love to learn new things, science, history, ways of thinking/living, changing my point of view after intense discussions, deep conversations. I love nature, rivers, mountains, long hiking treks, and exercise. I hope yo go to Nepal next year and finally spend a month or two trekking there. I love history, traveling lets me immerse myself in it, and being back in Europe is like being in a outdoor Museum.
