CURRENT MISSION

From Canada to Brazil 2013 - 2014

ABOUT ME

We are two friends from Germany. Our idea is to travel across North- and Southamerica from August 2013 to June/July 2014. We started in Whitehorse, Canada and want to travel to Rio de Janerio, Brazil for the soccer world cup this summer.

Martin used to work as a cook in a local restaurant and wants to study sport science after our year abroad. He is a open minded, funny guy who likes to try new things.

Bjoern served the German Army and wants either to study international relations or join the German police forces after the year of travelling. He is a down to earth, relaxed and reliable guy who pursues his goals with a lot of ambition and likes to be in company of other cool people.

We both share a big passion for sports. We like rock climbing, hiking and soccer.

We hope to meet a lot of interesting people, to visit cool places and cities and to make good couchsurfing experiences.

We have a facebook-page running where we keep our friends at home updated. You can check it out, so you can learn more about us and our journey. Just look for 'Our Road to RIO' or follow this link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Our-Road-to-RIO/550556975002405

PHILOSOPHY

'You don't have to be a hero to accomplish great things---to compete. You can just be an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.'
