One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
• Staying at a host in western Pakistan near the afghan border shooting with their impressive firearm collection and wearing the traditional Salwar Kameez
• Climbing a 6100m high vulcano in Peru while constantly swallowing coca leave to suppress signs of alltitude sickness and coldness
• Snorkeling the waters of Bunaken Marine Park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia seeing an unbelievable number of fish and turtles and from time to time even sharks and other larger creatures
• Catching Piranhas and cooking them directly on the fire near Manaus, Brazil. It tastes so much better if you spend all day for it
• Silently canoeing on the Kinabatangan river in Borneo, Malysia and finally spotting some Orang Utan
• Meditating with the buddhist monks at the golden Shwedagon pagoda in Myanmar
• Hiking in Yosemite National Park, USA while a bear comes directly towards us. Luckily it was a friendly bear and just curious
• Visiting a secret Underground restaurant in Kiev, Ukraine. A local told me the password otherwise they would have even refused me to enter
• Riding a camel through the desert in jordan and admiring the natural beauty of the night sky full of stars
and many more :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I worked in Finance so if you need information about different ways of investing or want to talk about the stock market I'am more than happy to share my thoughts. Additionally I traveled to more than 60 countries and can give you recommendations on various topics. Also, I can teach you German and we could of course pratice English together and I could help with stuff in the household.
