I'm leaving soon for a five months trip on the camino, hence I won't be able to host someone during the next months.

Moin :)

I am Robert (30) and currently a mix of writer and labourer. During the season (April till October) I'm working in my hometown, while during the off-season (November till March), I'm heading out on journeys and write books about these. The next grand Tour will be a five months walk via the camino, starting in Marburg (Hesse).

My lifegoal is to be independent of money in all regards. I like to be self sufficiant, buy myself some good land, build my own log cabin/house on it, and grow a self sufficiency garden, what I'm basically already doing back home, during the season. Living off the grid and independent is what drives me :).

I did write a hiking guide book about Ireland, which was released just recently (May 2019), so if you want to go to Ireland yourself, ask me for advices :).
Aside that, I do write my own novel-series. The Genre is kind of an essayistic-tragedy or drama with Phylosophical, psychological and also socio-critical content :).

Philosophy:

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

How I participate in couchsurfing:

I was able to be hosted by quite some people and was already a little guilty to not be able to myself, because for a long time, I was just absent from home and always on the move. Now, that I do have my own flat (even though just for a Single), I'm able to host max. 2 people (who should be couples, for they're sharing the couch).
I like to have people around me, even though I do also enjoy some good quality time on my own :). I'm a teamplayer but also pretty much independent on my way.

Centres d'intérêt

I love music, especially german Bands as ASP and Samsas Traum, which belong to my most favorites.
Additionally I'm a huge Manga and Anime fan with tons of titles of interest =). I also like to play Go and do gardening, writing and reading.
Hiking is my sepcial Hobby, from which I want to live later on. My next hike would be the E1 from the north cape in Norway, down to Palermo in Italy, all the way across Europe.
