Hey there,

I'm Patrick, a 32-year-old traveler exploring the world with my ukulele. I'm on a mission to explore the globe in a 2-year trip without flying, documenting my journey on my ukulele travel blog. (ukuleletravels.com)

Beyond music, I believe the ukulele has a unique power to bring people together and spread positivity. My goal is to visit ukulele clubs and festivals worldwide, sharing stories and melodies wherever I go.

As a guest, I bring my ukulele skills and a genuine desire to contribute. Whether through music, volunteering, or meaningful conversations, I aim to leave a positive mark wherever I stay.

I'm eager to connect with fellow adventurers who share a passion for music, travel, and making the world a better place. Let's create unforgettable experiences together!

I am vegetarian and I do not drink or smoke.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Patrick

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded people and experience new places through the eyes of locals. For me, traveling isn't just about ticking off destinations. It's about immersing myself in different cultures, learning from diverse perspectives, and building meaningful connections along the way. My ukulele is an amazing way to get to know locals through ukulele communities. But eventually I will leave the ukulele hot-spots and I hope that Couchsurfing can help me to stay connected.

I believe in the beauty of slow travel—the opportunity to take in the essence of a place, its people, and their stories. Couchsurfing allows me to do just that, offering authentic insights that guide me beyond tourist spots into the heart of communities. I love missing out! I would rather spend a nice day with you than seeing all the sights and museums of your town.

I look forward to sharing experiences, and creating lasting memories with hosts who open their homes and hearts to travelers like me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent some time in a Buddhist monastery last year to find to myself and gain inner peace. This trip around the world is a love letter to myself. I want to inspire people with my ukulele journey to go out and find their passion themselves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching ukulele, so if you're interested, I'd be happy to share some chords and songs. I'm also fluent in German, so if you're keen to practice or learn, I can definitely help with that. Lastly, I enjoy engaging in deep conversations about life, travel, and everything in between.
