Hello everyone,

my name is Torben and I am discovering our lovely planet since 23 years.
During the last years I‘ve studied Geography in Berlin with a focus on environmental protection (climate change, Sustainability Science, Nature Conservation...). I started to voluntarily work on educational seminars for young people between 15-25 years 2 years ago and spent 3 wonderful months in the Berchtesgaden national park, working as a part of the environmental education team.

Currently I am doing a voluntary ecological year in the National Park of Berchtesgaden where I teach kids the mysteries of our planet.

Furthermore, I have travelled to a lot of places in my free time, exploring new landscapes and different ways of living.

I would describe myself as a curious, friendly, communicative person. I like to be helpful and i am interested in a huge variety of subjects, for example: Countrys, Cultures, Nature, yoga, sustainable living & education, running, camp fires, singing, guitar, swimming, working outdoors, languages (german, english, french),...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do like to meet people, I do not like expensive Hotels, I am happy about recommendations & knowledge from local people. I like to eat together, drink together, talk, discover.
