I am an ordinary guy traveling since May2013 around the world on a sidecar with a dog. Born in '65 in Germany, I lived most of my adult life in Finland (almost 20years) and thus I consider myself more Finnish than German.

I am in South America heading south towards Tierra del Fuego and after that it is totally open what I will do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great way to meet other people and get to know local habits. As a world-traveler my budget is very tight and hotels are typically too expensive.
