I like to see myself as an open minded guy who lives his life in a balanced way - there is always space to improve of course. I enjoy spending time with active people but I also love the extreme opposite. Just reading in a cafe for hours and playing a party of chess over a cup of tee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before I got to know couchsurfing I was traveling on my own, hitchhiked for the first time and got invited to many homes having the best and most heartwarming experiences. Since one does not always accidently run into somebody who is in the situation I was I was happy I got to know about couchsurfing where such situations get artificially created being able now to be on the side of the host to share what other people shared with me before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living on top of the peaks of the alps of the southern hemisphere in old miners huts enjoying the most amazing sunrises! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel experiences, teach how to make coffee the turkish, bosnian and italian way and take people out on an early morning run if they feel like!
