About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to keep on travelling, meet people from all around the world and see the beautifullest places and animals - beside this I try to learn spanish and salsa actually

ABOUT ME

I fall in love with backpacking during a tour in Nepal, the next trip was in Tailand and there I decided that I'm not happy back home and i've got so itchy feet, that i decided to travel for longer time. I was thinking it's not possible - but it is: just quit your job and sell all your stuff, quit all the contracts and feel free... I started last year in december to travel and I still can't get enough of it! I'm happy and grateful that I can see all this beautiful places, all this many tipes of animals and that i can meet so lovely people from all over the world. No matter where I am: in the bigger citys in small villages on the beach or all alone in the nature - I make the best about it. Still I'm in a hurry - I can't tell why, but the longest time I spent in one place has been 2 weeks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience has been in Peru. Just 2 times I surfed there with lovely people and 2 times I met up with some. I liked it a lot, but during my travel through other countries I met so many other travellers that we always went to some hostels. But I want to change that soon and love to make some new experiences with CS

Interests

I love to spend my time outside in the nature. In my freetime I went as often as possible for rockclimbing and done a lot by bike. That's what i'm missing most during my travelling right now. And of course my good friends, my best brother ever and the rest of my family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most the strange movies - my favorites are from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Also I like action stuff like Born Ultimatum, Transporter... But i haven't watched a movie for a while :)
I like diffrent kind of music - it goes from linkin park, pearl jam, through reggea, hip hop, bjoerk and today of course salsa - it's easier to say i don't like house music a lot ;)
the best book ever is Millennium Trilogie - or in english the girl with the dragon tatoo from Stieg Larsson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One moment during my travelling that left me awestruck was spending 10 days in the middle of a jungle in mentawai-island / indonesia. There was instead of me and another guy not tourist at all and we've got the canche to live with those interesting, warmly native people who are still hold on to their tradition and culture.
And there were a lot of moments in Australia which leaving my breathless: I've never expectet to see such beautiful spots combinied with the wonderfullst animals ever.
