About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live happily

ABOUT ME

After finishing highschool I started studying biology. Since I love nature, I really enjoyed learning about it. I was lucky to participate in a one year exchange to Costa Rica. When coming back I was certain that doing research is not my passion. Looking for time to think, read and learn I took off to Malawi. I lived in a village close to the Mozambican border for one year. There I was very much enjoying the natural, earthy, simple village life.
After some time back in my place of birth, Landsberg am Lech, in Germany, I took off to explore more. I made my way to Portugal and found my paradise in the north there. I loved how the region is blessed with lots of water and how that promotes natural life and growth. By a river in the mountains i pitched my tend and stayed there all summer, getting to know people, the language and beautiful places.
That time taught me that i am happy by fresh water. Thats why i decided to live by the danube last summer. I bought a kayak and followed the river all the way to the black sea. Constantly moving, in the sun, fresh air and water i had a wonderful time.
After spending the winter in landsberg, earning some money, i am currently wandering around again. hitchhiking and with my tent in my backpack i'm slowly moving direction malawi. it's calling my heart.

Soooo, to sum it up:
I love exploring... I feel like with every person I meet, every place I go, every thing I see and every word I hear I grow and live life. Different countries, customs, landscapes, people, stories, animals, languages and ways of living are what attract me.

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you are, be all there

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take all oportunities that seem enjoyable to me. Might be hosting, might be surfing, might aswell just be giving advice to someone or join some couchsurfing event.
When I am in Landsberg I have space to host people. I would love to show you around the beautiful town of Landsberg. Also I can help you travel to Munich, which is about 45 minutes by train, or travel to Augsburg, which is about the same distance.
