About Me

After I finished school in 2013, my plan was to go to Australia. I worked for one more year and I finally went to Australia in April 2014. I spent one year in Australia,traveled around Australia, worked for a few months and met awesome people!
I was traveling with my girlfriend, Joannie, 26, French, which I met in Bundaberg while picking Zucchini :D
After Australia we spent 9 weeks in New Zealand traveling both islands with a campervan.
I finally had to go back to Germany for a wedding in August 2015
so we finished our trip by spending 2 awesome weeks in Fiji.
After 3 months back home we started an Asia trip the beginning of November.

We are relaxed , like to hang around with good people and like making new friends all the time. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*Since the beginning of November I'm traveling in Asia.
So unfortunately I can't host right now. But I'm more than happy to give some tips and information about Rothenburg and it's region.
Feel free to text me :) *

I like to meet many people from different countries to exchange our live and experiences!
For me, visiting a country includes meeting local people.
Can you really say you visited a country without knowing the people who live there? :)
I know the live as a backpacker. So I also know how hard it can be to get around with just a little budget.
When I'm at home I'm always happy to provide my couch if possible :)

Interests

Meeting new people, travelling, snowboarding, diving, playing guitar, sports, Camping, surfing
and 4WDing in Australia :P
Actually I started to learn harmonica.... traveling with a guitar can get really difficult sometimes :(

I did lots of snowboarding in different countries..but unfortunately I didn't see much snow the last years because I definitely traveled in the wrong countries :D

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book by far is "So weit die Fuesse tragen" translated it means "As far as your feet can carry you"

I'm listening to almost all kind of music. My favorites though is rock music, which I also like to play on guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping of a 13m high waterfall, Dived the Great Barrier and Ningaloo Reef.
Traveling Papua New Guinea. It was the most stressful and shocking travel I ever made.

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd like to learn something about the people and the country we visit.
I could teach some guitar :P I'm not that good, but should be okay
We can also teach some language, if you want.
We could share the experiences we made on our travel and we could share something about our home countries Germany and France.

What I Can Share with Hosts
