About Me

I've never really liked flying. Especially to faraway countries. The shock is too big for me, getting on the airplane in my own world and arriving after some hours in a world I dont know. With a different climate, other music, strange animals and especially different people. I want to see and feel everything change.
And to show some respect to the greatness of the globe, I wanted to try to hitchhike to India. On my trip I wanted to meet people, cultures, my own limits and much more. I left home beginning of Oktober and the 15th of November I started hitchhiking from north Italy.
The route I wanted to take is through Greece, Turkey, Iran, Oman.

I’m now back home and trying to get used to normal life again.

SUPER BUSY SO UNFORTUNATELY I CANT HOST ANYONE NOW!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a place is to hang out with the locals, I think it's important and a lot of fun to meet different people, there's a lot of really cool people on this platform, enabling each other as a community to travel this way.
A good friend of mine once said that there should be no right of voting for people that have never been more that 150 km away from their hometown. I guess there's some truth in that.

Interests

Friends, foreign people, having conversations with people I do not share any language with.
Growing up on a houseboat I was hooked on everything with water since I was 5. Thats when I started learning to sail, swim, kite. Later I got hooked on surfing also.

I love hitchhiking.

I love hitchhiking

Whilst travelling I want feel as liberated as I can. I need a backpack, clothes and shoes.
And time.

(I've done a lot of couchsurfing already, just in a more basic form. Thats why I also love hitchhiking :))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Building a wooden canoe by myself without experience.
