My first love is the great outdoors and nature. I enjoy scuba diving, rock climbing, new friends, exchanging stories, long train rides, stargazing, Miyazaki movies, Japanese whiskey, craft beer, and new experiences. When I'm in new cities, I like to be with people who understand the place, and to visit the places at the heart of the culture. I like to watch people, ride the public transport, and enjoy the sunset where locals enjoy the sunset :)

In normal life, I live in Berlin and work as a climate policy analyst in a think tank, consulting for governments on their climate mitigation plans. I was an adventure guide in a former life, working mostly in Africa. Traveling has been part of my life since I was born. I am forever curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently joined a friend on a couchsurfing experience and loved it. It's a new style of traveling for me but one where I can potentially meet many interesting people around the world, share the city they live in, and build new memories on an intimate level. Share the karma, share the love.
