I´m a pirate!
Having sailed many oceans together with the bravest sailors providing the save and fair trade of curly kale I am the most experienced man in "negotiations" with rough poachers, aristocratic diplomats, greedy traiding men and all the other picture book gangstas.
Last winter we lost our wooden sailing ship in a terrible thunderstorm and ran aground on Volcanic Island which we left on a raft made from Coconut shells after a few months.
Now my crew and I live in Dresden looking for a new ship and mission. Meanwhile I am studying medicine but not having lost my sailors attributes. I am a free thinking spirit and sociable (drinking beer with my crew everyday day), honest (my parrot does not tolerate me lying...) and depending on my mood, tranquillo or in high spirits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet interesting people - sailors and landlubbers - from any part of the world.

A Storm Is Going To Come by Piers Faccini

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I do remember our exact position.. must have been near Madagascar Island, our compass broke and we lost all our seamaps because toilet paper was rare. We had to navigate roughly with heavenly bodies to pass the dangerous cliffs of Uagulululu. Unfortunately dark clouds and heavy swell disturbed our navigational attempts.
A few ours later I climbed the top mast to lower the yard sails - and got terribly seasick. Then, dazed by my seasickness, I recognized a triple rainbow spanning across the deepwater navigable channel which then led us through the stony strait...
