Hey there! Since my father runs a travel agency the spirit of getting around, discovering, expanding the horizon and trying to understand the world a bit better was always part of my life. Luckily i got the possibility to follow that wanderlust a lot - or better: i set the priorities in my life to be able to do so. With time i realized that i really like the way of traveling by bicycle - so much that after a couple of shorter trips i realized a dream of myself in 2019 and cycled for one and a half years through europe, till the pandamic stopped me. After that, the travel-hunger was still not satisfied, my girlfriend (meanwhile wife;)) and i bought an old VW T4, created a little, cozy home inside and started to hit the road again in July 2021... and now we just came back to Germany and settled down in Leipzig. I`m strongly looking forward to all the meetings and experiences with Couchsurfing guests and we try to support travelers as much as we got supported over years. Ps.: No need to write super personalised requests or to answer tricky questions. Short message is enough, I'll give my sign usually pretty quick. See you ;) ------------------------------------------------------------ * pretty balanced * vegan/vegetarian * nonsmoker (except weed, if it fits;)) * environmentalist (as good as possible) * animal friendly (had a small dog and two big cats before) * left-liberal, but (unfortunately) not really activ * philanthropist (stronger with every time i`m traveling) * minimalist (but could be better with that;)) * evolved to a morning person over time

Une chose que j'ai apprise en voyageant et que j'ai ramenée chez moi, c'est...
in was für einer Wohlfühlblase wir hier in Westeuropa leben und auf welchen grotesk hohen Niveau wir hier am lamentieren und jammern sind. Und das Dankbarkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und Lebensfreude mitnichten an die finanzielle Situation gekoppelt sind.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I dont need to deny - when i was in my early 20s couchsurfing was a fantastic way of saving some money while traveling... and still i believe its an important point of that plattform - although a lot of people will shout "CS is not for staying for free!". Of course it should not be JUST about that, but nevertheless it opens (travel) possibilties for those, who would not be able to travel arround and enjoy the beauty of the world as easy as we western europeans can do it. Anyway, of course over the years the factor money become less important for me and the chances to dive deep into the local culture, learn about the homemade food, share stories and informations and get incredible interesting views "behind the curtain" became the reason, that i love that platform so much! I had hosts all over the world and dont want to miss all this unforgetable times!
Musique, films et livres
Really not that much into films and music, although i enjoy both and have some favorites as well
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
