About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My first real travel experience was the road trip I always dreamed of - with an old Volkswagen Transporter through Eastern Europe in 2007, meeting amazing people, and ending up at the Roskilde festival. Afterwards, I stayed in Brazil for half a year, volunteering with the Movimento Sem Terra. I was inactive on couchsurfing for some time, but getting back on track now!
