About Me

Well, like almost every couchsurfer I'm probably open minded, social and interested in all that beautiful places around the world. and not good in describing myself ;) Anyway I'm a calm person and can't get worked up easily (except for some principle things like ignorance, intolerance, racism and sexism). Most of the time I don't really have a plan, but I always have my visions.

Just back from a 11 month trip from my hometown (Karlsruhe) overland to malaysia and enjoy being currently unemployed for acclimatization..

When I'm not traveling, I ride motorbike, go for some hiking, visit some gigs, bake muffins and cakes..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

surfing:
Couchsurfing makes my journey much more interesting, colourful, deeper, just better.
I couldn't imagine to meet so many so different and so hospitable people and that I couldn't say once, that it was not amazing. It's giving me much more than a place to sleep.
Thanks to all the beautiful people who hosted me and shared their live with me!
I would love to invite all of you to my place!

hosting:
I hope I can give some other travellers a nice place to stay on their journey. And I want people to bring the world to me as long as I can not travel..
