One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled through Ireland and I meet the nicest people ever when backpacking along the east coast. I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the "green island". I highly recommend Ireland to everybody who hasn't seen it for themselves yet.

Rome really impressed me with its collection of historical sights. Totally worth a trip.

Hiking in the National Parks and Canyons in the U.S. and Canada was class. Really puts things in perspective.

Israel has the best food. Hands down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to play guitar, at least basics.
I would like to improve my Spanish proficiency, I got a bit rusty...
I can teach English, German and History and love talking about culture and languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, humour and German cuisine.
