*** If you love sailing, the sea, slow traveling: contact me for sailing opportunities from April 2021 ***

I love exploring the bigger and smaller things in this world. Even the known and local surroundings can hold an adventure and I am seeking new experience and perspectives all the time.

Had to abort my world trip after only 3 months in spring 2020.
Started fixing up a sailboat instead and sailed the Baltic sea for a bit.

Currently living in Hamburg on my 35' sailboat which is nice and cosy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just living, being part of people's life and letting people into my life. If you stay with me you are guaranteed to get a good taste of whatever is happening then, usually good foods, some walks around town or countryside and party :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent some great 2 weeks couchsurfing in West Sussex UK while I was searching for a room to rent and a couple of great hosts really saved my life :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 I rescued a little dog in Peniche, Portugal while on a surfing trip with my VW. The plan was to find a home for her in Germany but she was so amazing, my family kept her. Penni is an amazing buddy and will be missed forever...

In winter 2008/09 I flew to Morocco for surfing with some guys I didnt know until then. We had an amazing time in an amazing country (my first visit to Africa)!
Especially when a local friend took us on a trip to his home village in the mountains. He showed us around, his family invited us to have tea and cakes with them. Later that day we walked through a canyon to a spot, where you can jump down the cliff into a river.
We all jumped, although I was fucking scared at fist, I just stepped forward. Hitting the water I hurt my back so badly, I still felt this day many weeks later :D This evening I had the most delicious dinner of my life, a traditional "Tagine".
I hope our friend Houssein enjoyed this day as much as I did!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you come sailing with me, I'll teach you everything I can - at your own pace!
Otherwise all the surroundings in beautiful Hamburg and surely some cooking!

Id love to learn some Russian because if things open up, I'll sail to St Petersburg this summer.
Crew welcome!
