I am mostly spontaneous and try to be as open and optimistic as possible. I like getting to know new cultures and people. But just as important to me are my friendships.
When I'm not on a city tour, I like to explore the world by bike. Whether over the Alps or through Africa. With the bike you travel just so fast, that you still perceive everything around you and still progress. And you are always very close to the people and the environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s the perfect platform to get to know people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one example: traveling with my own tent for over 4 months. But it was put up only 3 times, because there was always a place to sleep offered by the locals. Thanks a lot for this!
