Spend 5 unforgettable months in New Zealand after graduating high-school. I totally fell in love with rock climbing and mountaineering there. Then I served my country in a military band / orchestra near Würzburg. From October on I'm going to study a subject called Cognitive Science at the University Osnabrück. Basically I'm trying to spend as much time in the great outdoors as possible.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To experience the local cultures during my trips and to meet new friends all over the world!

Intereses

I use this network to get to know people, that want to share their stories and culture. I'm always keen to learn something about a foreign country or experience it by myself while I'm traveling. To me traveling is all about stepping out of your comfort zone. In my opinion you always get rewarded for that!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I did an amazing 1200km bike-trip from Germany to Romania with a friend called Fritz. We traveled along the Danube through Austria and crossed the border to Slovakia, where we stayed in Bratislava for a night. We even got invited to dinner by and hospitable Slovak. Then we moved on to Budapest usually sleeping in our tent. Now we had to find our own way, because there are no bike paths in Hungary. After two more days riding through the beautiful backcountry we finally reached the Romanian border near Salonta. We passed on to Apuseni national park, some Foothills of the Carpathians. One last obstacle lay in our way: A mountain pass. But after a few exhausting hours of climbing with our heavy packed bikes, we were rewarded with an astonishing view over the national parks forest and an awesome downhill ride. On the next day we finally arrived at our destination, the cabin of Fritz's family, where we already were awaited. Conclusion: 10 days, 1200km and an experience we will never forget! Traveling by bike is a great way to really get to know the culture, people and nature of the country you're passing through. It was just inspiring to see so much wild animals like deer, pheasants or storks and to meet locals that showed us their way of life, for example Sinti and Roma in Romania. I was 16 years old and still going to school, when we took this trip and I guess these were the most amazing holidays I ever had.
