About Me

Hi I'm a 27 years old guy from Germany and currently travelling and exploring Brasil! I have been called a smiley and open-minded person not quite fitting the german stereotype but i'll leave that for you to judge :D. I think plans are made to be changed and I like to experiment, be spontaneous and to go with the flow, but i also know this is not always possible. I prefer a relaxed atmosphere but sometimes when i get really excited i just go for it. I value honesty and authenticity and a kind of motto of mine would be "enjoy and be joy".
I like deep talks and to challenge "the common view" and the most beautiful thing is to meet sbdy with a different opinion or perspective and who is willing to "talk it through" in order to challenge oneself and not just to "be right". I think questions are the most powerful thing in the world.

I've been travelling across south america for 6 months in 2016, came back in 2018 and 2022 for a month each and now I'm in South America for the fourth time since April 2023 without having an end in sight yet:))

Getting lost
Is not a waste of time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travelling is not only visiting and seeing different places but most of all meeting people, getting to know each other and learning about new perspectives on life and cultures. What better way to live these ideas than by living together?

Interests

I love dancing: over the past years i have been learning, training, teaching and competing in several dance styles like Salsa, Rock'n'Roll, Zouk and Contact Improvisation. Especially Zouk is my great passion (check out my favourite video https://youtu.be/LNcXTlI546E it's the most awesome dance on this planet haha).
I enjoy Yoga and Meditations and i'm trying to let them be part of my daily life. Every morning before breakfast I start my day with a little Yoga and Meditation routine...which i am more than happy to share or otherwise hope that it won't bother you. :)
I am newly starting Calisthenics and I love surfing, but it's a tough love being a german not living by the sea...
From time to time i like to improvise with my ukulele:)) Also i enjoy cooking (vegan) and - obvisouly- travelling and being curious! :D

3 months surf road trip at the coast of france and spain, sleeping under the stars and in an old fire truck:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be super happy to share my passion for dancing (but of course don't feel obligated here ;)
Porque ainda estou aprendendo português, cada conversação me ajuda bastante e já fico muito feliz só falar com vocês e aprender da cultura brasileira de qualquer jeito:)
I'm open to share any knowledge or skills, be it travel expierences (how to prepare an argentinean mate??), or maybe german language/culture (how to cook Sauerkraut and spätzle??),...

My favourite things to share are food, stories and a smile (or many :D) ! :)))

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm easy going and don't need much to be happy - just a bed and food haha sooo
Let's cook together! :D

I also like doing sports and together it's always more fun!;)

And of couuuurse dancing!

I respect your privacy and I will never be offended if you need time and space for yourself:)
