About Me

Hi.

I am Christian from Germany and I travel around the world with my bicycle.

I started in may 2019 in Germany, and I am going east until reach my starting destination again.

If you are hosting me, then I am your guest. I have my own mattress and sleeping bag. I can sleep on the ground if there is 2m x 1m space. I don't care about any conditions, cleanness or animals. As long it's an almost dry space.

I already traveled through almost every country in Europe before on some previous trips, where I met so many awesome people.. But now it's time to see the rest of the world,

On the last trip I traveled for six months from Germany to Turkey through the Balkan.

To feel the freedom, I quit my job and now I enjoy the excitement of the life on the road.
I am interested to learn about the different cultures and see the unexpected, you don't read about in a guide book.

I try to stay on a small budget and usually I sleep in my tent. But it's always great to get in touch with some locals and spent some time with them.

The reason I travel with a bicycle is that I am able to visit the small remote places outside of the tourist paths, and still be fast enough to explore everything I like to see.

So if you like to host my and my bicycle, I would be super happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
