I traveled to all continents but Antarctica, often to see a solar or a lunar eclipse. I do also enjoy small details in my adventure, authentic places, appreciate cultural exchange and learning languages (never too many).

Travel buddies are welcome. My means of travel can be anything, from hitchhiking to car rentals, blablacar to safari trucks, tuk-tuks to dreamliners. I adore hiking too, mostly as day trips - sadly not a very experienced camper. Coolest idea I had so far: driving 4000km around Western Australia in a small Toyota van.

Feel free to ask me about travel tips in the countries that I lived in!

Try to be specific with the dates of your stay. I often have a pretty intense work schedule, hence not always available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea to feel at home anywhere in the world, not in a particular country. So at any place I visit I really try to feel myself as much local as possible at a time. I have fun meeting interesting people like you. I don't expect anything specific, a cup of coffee could be good start for a long-term friendship.

Interests

Not a big fan of historical sites and sightseeing marathons with a sole purpose to take selfies, however enjoy exploring the city on my own or with a local who knows good stories of the place.

Outdoorsy but lazy. Adore mountains and like spontaneous hikes. Hitchhiked across a bunch of countries, mostly in SE Europe.

Prefer home parties or nice bars with dim lights to overly loud pubs and tasteless clubbing. Non-smoker but tolerating it outside of home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chasing the shadow of the Moon at 4 km/s,
Not paying 20$ to guys with Kalashnikov on a desolate island,
Meeting my African sister,
Getting interviewed by state intelligence for accused spying,
Driving through a tornado.
All of these on the same single trip to Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

Take me out of the city and I can explain everything what you can see (and also what you cannot see) in the night sky.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Breakfast, a hike and/or short drive in the area, endless travel stories
