ABOUT ME

I have been living a more or less unsettled life for three years now. I grew up in Germany but have lived in New Zealand for a while, hitchhiked around Europe and went on multiple day backcountry hikes around the PNW, Alaska and Canada. I definitely have some good stories to tell and would love to hear yours!
I quit university for several reasons. My mission for the next years is to stay with locals around the world to learn what they can teach (things that are actually important for life, not just to pass an exam) while helping them out whereever necessary. I kind of invent my own style of university that way!
I love being outdoors - hiking, kayaking, mountain biking or snowboarding in winter. I enjoy unexpected adventures as much as being in the middle of nowhere.
I guess that's enough for now, haha.

PHILOSOPHY

It's liberating to free yourself from stuff you don't truly need, trust that a minimum is enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a great time hosting travelers from all over the world when I still had my own place. It's now again time for me to go and explore myself.
