Living in in my van, probably somewhere in Europe right now..

I'm a very open-minded person whose passions are travel, photography, motorcycles and music. I've lived in three different countries so far (yes, Bavaria counts as a country), including a year in Helsinki. I learnt how to respect different life choices and to be inspired by people from all walks of life. Being abroad had a very deep impact on my character and philosophy.
I can be found making music, either busking on the streets, doing freeletics somewhere outdoors or crashing a salsa party.

The last three years I worked in engineering, now I'm traveling around Europe in my van.

I probably don't really need a couch, just a place to park my van:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel around, I always prefer hanging out with locals, rather than with other german tourists. ;-)
Even though I don´t see myself as a tourist. I like to visit places in a more authentic and less commercial way.

If I am not traveling, it´s a pleasure to return the favour of course.

Interests

Trust me, I'm an engineer:)
Usually I am travelling with my motorbike or my van.
Music is my passion, guitar, handpan, cello, drums, singing.
Salsa dancing whenever I get the chance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Comedies are great, but I also enjoy watching most of the big ones.

Usually I read books no one knows. Currently I am into travel biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving with my motorbike to the most northern point of Europe - the Cape North.
After 8000km on the road:
- in my tent I slept in the Russian border zone, woken up by soldiers
- I made friends with lot's of cool reindeer
- on the Lofoten Islands, I caught the biggest fish of my life
- Luckily I managed to pull my bike out of the snow again, in summer!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to:
- play guitar
- make some proper german "Bratkartoffeln"
- fart melodies with your hands

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like showing my gratitude by helping you with whatever there needs to be done in your household. And since I am always carrying my toolbox with me I ´d be happy to reapair some stuff.
If you enjoy cooking just as I do, we can fix ourselves a tasty dinner.
