I’m Robert Fahnenstiel – a YouTuber, Video- and Photographer originally born in Kyrgyzstan in the former Sowjetunion, grown up in Germany and now based in Arosa, a small village in the middle of the Swiss Alps.

Leaving university with my degrees in business and having a well-paid job in my pocket I decided myself against the “normal” way and went on a life changing trip around the world in 2015 for almost 4 years.

Travel, Explore, Inspire is the foundation for much of what I do. I enjoy inspiring people through my films and photography, traveling to new places, and sharing what I’ve learned with other like-minded people.

I love life, simple life and I'm super grateful for every day. I life my dreams and create the reality I want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, share stories and learn more about their worldview and culture. I'm really grateful for everybody I met in my life. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "Do you know the secret of the true scholar? In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him; and in that I am his pupil".

Interests

I love life, creat the reality I want and content for others to inspire. I´m very interested about sustainability and a sustainable lifestyle. Actually I really like to try and learn new things. That keeps and makes life interesting. I like to be curious, like back in the days as we were kids and explored things with such a passion and nothing could stop us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job in 2015 and since that I`m living my dream and traveling the world. During that time I lived in three other countries and worked in two of them. I bought a crappy scooter for 5.5 million Dong in Vietnam and traveled 4000 km on it from south to north. I cycled almost 10.000 km trough Canada from coast to coast in 2017.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some stuff about social media, photo- and videography. I can share my memories and stories about my past travels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of stories to tell. I love good and deep conversations. Not just the typical small talk. I love food and especially cooking. I can also help with some bike issues.

I love people, the world, life, smiling, sustainability, sharing and and and. I prefer to life simple, things like honor and loyalty are very important for me and I´m always up to meet new people and make new experience. I´m open minded, tolerant, friendly and like to laugh. Looking forward to meet you.
