In October 2023 , I left home with a dream: To travel once around the world - without any start-up capital or using a plane.🗺️

After three months I reached Spain and took a ferry to Africa. From Morocco I hitchhiked all along the west coast of Africa. After more than 30.000km I reached Cape Town, where I was able to get on board of a sailing boat and sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the Carribean.
Now, it’s time to explore the South American continent :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting connected with locals, so you don’t have to travel as a tourist but get a real experience of the culture of a country. For me, this is one of the things that separates a traveler from a tourist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about things I learned in school but that I‘ll never need In life. For example quantum physics, complex mathematics or something about Schrödingers cat.🐈⚰️

I want to learn as much new things as possible on my trip, so I would love to learn everything you can teach me :)
