Normally I get up early to go for a run. In winter I do cross-country skiing. I am mountaineering guide and keen rock climber.

In my job, I organize contests for school children and publish books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see local people when I travel, and also to train my speaking English and German.
