About Me

I am currently living and studying (M. Sc. Entrepreneurship & Social Innovation) in Ingolstadt in Southern Germany.

After my Bachelor degree I traveled through Latin America for a year and fell in love with traveling and Latin America in general. I love to get into adventures and to learn and explore new things. I think traveling is probably the purest form of education, since you learn so much about the world, other people and about life in general when you are on the road. Additionally, a friend once told me that we are all shaped by our stories and experiences, and traveling is an amazing way to write unforgettable stories.

Apart from traveling I love sports (Football, Mountain hiking, Skiing, Diving, Yoga, Cross-Fit, Climbing, etc.) reading, philosophizing with friends about life, getting to know new people, learning languages (currently Portuguese), camping in nature (with bonfires, cold beer and sunsets), partying, dancing Salsa (I did a three week Salsa course in Colombia but unfortunately still dance like a German...), cooking, ...

(I am also not gay:))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tried Couchsurfing while I was traveling around Latin America. I met amazing people doing so!

Now back in my country I see Couchsurfing as an opportunity to meet great people and to learn from interesting people. I also want to help travelers have an amazing time here in Germany, full of adventures, amazing stories and unforgettable experiences!!
