I am funny, honest and spontaneous buddy who decided to completely leave his German lifestyle behind and moved to the other side of the planet becoming an Aussie.

My family, friends and workmates always describe me as helpful and supportive due to my solutions-oriented mindset, as I mostly see solutions rather than problems.

But that's exactly what my current job of in Risk and Compliance Management is all about, solving the riddles.

Outside of work, I'm usually keen to have a beer or two (bad habbit!), which is what unfortunately happens when you're immersed in the craft beer paradise and want to try everything new.

However, I still like to just talk about mostly everything or what's going on in the world to exchange knowledge, opinions or perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since fully settling in Australia after about 25 months as a "German Backpacker", I have been couch surfing quite rarely, but still have tried to meet and spend time with locals whenever I visit foreign countries or rural places on WA's breathtaking coast.

Therefore, I still believe that the best way to get to know the real country is to explore and stay with its people rather than living in public accommodations or something similar.

It is worth mentioning that to this day I am still in contact with some of my hosts in Australia and Thailand, with whom I have been friends for a long time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2017, I made one of the best decisions of my life by deciding to step out of my comfort zone and fulfill my dream of going to Australia for at least a year, which has already turned into over seven years.

After living in Broome, Northern WA for around 09 months, I realized that Germany was no longer my home.
Shortly after, I applied for my 2nd Working Holiday Visa and worked my way through getting permanent residency (2021) in Australia and settling there.

Now that I've fully settled in here, I'm about to become an Australian citizen

I am and have always been a craftsman, but always interested in helping, learning and teaching.
