ABOUT ME

Ok what would you need to know about me.
I travel slow, I travel light, I travel whenever I can.
I spend the last few years traveling and working in all corners of the world, either to make money or volunteering to help make someone’s life a little better. I love to help and because I live a somewhat extreme life I had to push helping to the extremes too.
I have experience working with traumatised catastrophe victims. I’ve build emergency shelter, converted shipping containers, restoring water and electricity or what else was needed after nature shows what’s she’s capable of.
In my early 20s I worked for a year in a hospital where I talked with many people just before their death listening to their life regrets which influences my life till this day.
I’m extremely thankful for those experiences as they taught me what’s important in life.
Professionally I work in construction for over 26 years. I’m a jack of all trades with a somewhat unique because wide skill set and able to build and fix almost anything.
Machines, Cars, Motorbikes…I’ll give it a go as well, though I’m not a mechanic.
I really enjoy taking on random tasks I stumble across on my journey. I love learning something new everyday. I’m very curious to a point where my friends ask me why I bother to learn so many random things.
I just have the need to understand how the world works.
I got heavy into long distance trips. Everything from 100km up if it’s by foot, put me down as interested.
With my motorbike call it a thousand 😜
I don’t plan ahead but I like to be prepared for anything.
After my last breakup I decided I’m done with Dating and better off alone. I’m the wrong guy to fall in love with. I live a very Monk like lifestyle with very little possessions, spending my money mainly on flights, my Bike&Van and my nieces and nephews who are the most important people in my life and the reason why I come home to Germany for a few months every year. Thanks to my family and friends I’m very grounded for someone who travels this much.
I love my life the way it is even if it comes with the price most people aren’t willing to pay.
I have zero regrets in life as everything has helped me become a man I am very proud of.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't make decisions out of fear.

Nothing in life is free.

This is not a dating app.
We had to rescue so many girls from creepy hosts it’s not funny and worst part is that most of them still thought they had to leave a positive review coz of a free night to stay.
Sucks to hear those stories coz for me Couch-surfing changed my life and I met some of my best friends through CS.
