About Me

CURRENT MISSION

change perspective!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel to new foreign places to see beautiful nature and new cultures. It's awesome to hike through lonely landscapes without this touristic circus.
Hitchhiking is a great way of traveling. Similar to couchsurfing you meet so many openminded people! Try it!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I lived in cologne with my flatmate Dirk for the past 3 years. Since Dirk was much more flexible as a student, we arranged the couch hosting over his account (see our references here: https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/dirkguillermo/). We met so many nice surfers, enjoyed to show them cologne - especially outdoor, had great dinner with them or took them to karneval parties! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The great thing about Couchsurfing is to meet local people on your journey who can tell much more about the place than any lonely plante could do! To me traveling does not only mean to see foreign cities and landscapes but also learning more about the locals and their mindset! Looking forward to meet you!! :)
