I’m Robert Fahnenstiel – a YouTuber, Video- and Photographer originally born in Kyrgyzstan in the former Sowjetunion, grown up in Germany and now based in Arosa, a small village in the middle of the Swiss Alps. Leaving university with my degrees in business and having a well-paid job in my pocket I decided myself against the “normal” way and went on a life changing trip around the world in 2015 for almost 4 years. Travel, Explore, Inspire is the foundation for much of what I do. I enjoy inspiring people through my films and photography, traveling to new places, and sharing what I’ve learned with other like-minded people. I love life, simple life and I'm super grateful for every day. I life my dreams and create the reality I want.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love to meet new people, share stories and learn more about their worldview and culture. I'm really grateful for everybody I met in my life. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "Do you know the secret of the true scholar? In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him; and in that I am his pupil".
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I quit my job in 2015 and since that I`m living my dream and traveling the world. During that time I lived in three other countries and worked in two of them. I bought a crappy scooter for 5.5 million Dong in Vietnam and traveled 4000 km on it from south to north. I cycled almost 10.000 km trough Canada from coast to coast in 2017.

I know some stuff about social media, photo- and videography. I can share my memories and stories about my past travels.
