About Me

As a kid I was always fascinated with flying and travelling. But man,, the movie Top Gun set some goals for me! That's whenI wanted to be a pilot and so I started the Stella Aviation Academy. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a job as a pilot.

One of the best aspects of flying is to get anywhere in the world! I always loved travelling but when I decided to go to Singapore for half a year, I got the travellers bug. From there I travelled through South East Asia and I couldn't believe what I experienced. From that point on I couldn't stop travelling and am I always looking for places to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of the amazing people I met a few years later in Morocco, I got introduced to Couchsurfing and for me it is the perfect way to meet great people and see the places I am travelling in in a different way. And as a host, I love to give that back!

Interests

For sure besides travelling, music is the biggest love of my life. I tend to go to as many concerts I can go to. I also try to play some keys myself .
I am also a big fan of animals, especially birds and birds of prey. One of my dreams is to work with birds once.
I watch a loooot of movies. Please share your favourites!
I watch a lot of basketball (NBA), I can talk hours about it. I've been to Miami just to watch a game of my favourite player LeBron James.
One of my dreams is to own a Harley Davidson and ride through the West Coast of the States.
