I will be moving to COUCHERS.ORG after many years of being an active member of CS the app update came with a lot of enshittification. Hard to watch!i'm an open-minded and tolerant biologist and nature freak but also something of a nerd. Currently I'm doing my PhD but try to travel a lot too. Leisure things i like are: - respectful bush outdoor camping - travelling on peaceful roadtrips - make music with people from all other the world! - endless walks and wild exploring in open nature (beaches, mountain ranges, old forests, etc.)
Interested in Animals
Interested in Blues
Fluent in German
Learning Afrikaans
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I hosted and slept many couches already through the years and the least of them were arranged by this platform, but I believe in the power of "ubuntu" (or whatever you want to call it): the best thing one can do with own private space, is to share it
One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Visiting the World Air Guitar Championships in Oulu, Lapland - Drinking fermented horse milk with the yurt nomads in the Kyrgyz mountain plateaus - Diving with enormous manta rays on japanese WW2 shipwrecks in Palawan, Philippines - Deciphering prehistoric rock paintings in South African shelter caves behind a waterfall with a team of archeologists - Playing the church organ of a German gothic cathedral at night
My Interests
making music (singing, improvisations, jazz piano/french horn/blues harp, festivals); drawing; drone photography; roadtrips with vintage cars; mountain hiking and biking;
