I'm a filmmaker, tireless explorer and eco-activist known for creating inspirational short films at the farthest corners of earth. When I'm not traveling, I'm back home filming the Black Forest and hiking alongside the young changemakers of tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think most of the greatest traveling experiences that I've experienced in my life where because of the people I was with. It's simply more fun to create memories together and that's why I'm constantly keen on meeting new people and hearing about their passions and lookout on life.
