About Me

Alpinist. Traveler. Civil Engineer.
I try to do combine these things as much as possible.
At the moment, I am most of the time abroad and living in different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people. Getting new ideas. Experiencing the local living style.
I don't like scheduled programmes and travels in touristic hotspots.

Music, Movies, and Books

Actionfilms. Chillout Music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been helping to build a school in Nepal. There I designed a whole classroom which is a own building made from local rocks. In around half an year I realized this house together with the local people. In the same time, three other students made another three classrooms, so we have been a team of four students which have been working on our own in Nepal.

I am also part of the construction team which builds the "Igludorf" (translation: igloo-village) on Germany's highest mountain (Zugspitze) every year. We are constructing igloos only made from snow and equiped with several items. As a highlight, we also offer sauna and whirlpools in the middle of a beautfiul landscape. So quite a nice place to work :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about mountaineering and outdoor sports. I have had a youth-mountaineering-group for around six years and have been going to the mountains for almost my whole live.

I want to learn as much as possible about different people. Especially I am interested which free time activities you are doing. I think so there are a lot very funny ones which I don't know yet ^^

I like to share nice discussions, experiences and dreams. I can be realistic or just creating famous ideas of projects that could be realized anyday :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

At the moment I haven't got any apartement where I can offer somebody to stay. But as soon as I settle down, you can join my flat :)

I'm also very happy about travelmates. If someone wants to join me for a while, it would be nice. I also travel alone but I prefer spending my time in groups.
