Passionate about slow and conscious traveling. As long-distance cyclist I am exploring the beauty of the world and enjoy the kindness of so many new friends along the way. Oftentimes brainstorming new ideas for my business while on the road. Embracing the abundance of inspiration when meeting new people. Not always traveling by bicycle but trying as much as possible :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love traveling minimally and unpretentiously. I highly prefer sleeping in a tent over fancy hotels. Crashing someone's couch and listening to his/her stories means more than included breakfast to me.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Persevere and be trustful and life gives you what it needs at the right time... One great lesson that I learned when I cycled from Berlin to Istanbul.
