About Me

I am a nature loving Swiss guy explore the world and happy to share my world with you. Interested in any adventure you may put in front of me or i may just walk away couple 1000 Kilometers usualy
In general im happy for no reason but that's fine.

March 2019 i quit my job indefinitely to go travel, not really knowing what i was up to i opened up a workaway account and got requests from potential hosts right away so i ended up gooing for 2 months to Ireland as kind of a trial run wondering if i would even be happy traveling. Figured out i sure did. After just a week abroad i found my best friend, my dearest Darling, my Lady Maddi. Shortly after i got intruduced to CS and i've meet so many great people since. Traveling and hosting.
After the summer in Ireland i was confident that i would want to travel more and that i'd be happy doing so.
In Fall i headed to Canada and explored Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Toronto before i walked across the bridge at Niagara Falls to get into the US. Where i started beeing a wild walker by hiking the Long Trail in Vermont for 3 weeks. Then spent some time with Maddi and finally went to explore New York City, Miami and Key West before heading to Puerto Rico to volunteer for 2 amazing months in Yabucoa. With so many great people. Back to the US after that i went to my Lady which now ended up being officially my Lady. Here i was preparing to walk the Pacific Crest Trail a wonderful little walk.
So March 3 i stood there at the Border to Mexico ready to walk to Canada i thought. But nevermind 3 weeks into the awesome adventure we all know what happened so i flew back to my dear and moved into her parents House where i was helping to change the kitchen counter. 2 months later still not done with this simple task somehow the whole 1.st floor has been taken apart and partially put back together again me and Maddi decided we'd go an a road trip. We sure did 3 months and 20 National Parks later we got back to the House and the Kitchen was almost put back together. So i stayed for a bit longer and the Day i left we put the floor in and the Kitchen counter was basically renovated.
Back home i found my House "little Paradise" and went to collect some coins so i could keep on traveling and go visit my Lady. A couple complications later i ended up in Guatemala because there was no other way to get into the US except spending 2 weeks outside of europe. Oh well it was great. In the US we did a bit more exploring and had a great time hiking around.
2022 i sure packed up again and got back to the Mexican border again to now do this great walk to Canada. What a summer.
