About Me

I’m an open-minded traveler who loves exploring the world beyond the standard tourist routes. For me, traveling is about connection, with people, cultures, and the everyday life of a place. I prefer to go off the beaten path, sometimes even off-road, and I enjoy experiencing the nomadic side of life.

When I travel, I like to meet locals, share stories, and see how people really live. I believe every culture and opinion has something valuable to offer, and I’m always curious to learn from others. Whether it’s discovering hidden corners of a city, joining in on local traditions, or just having a good conversation, I appreciate authentic experiences the most.

Besides that, I’m talented in mechanical repairs and engineering, so I’m always glad to help out with any kind of task, especially when it comes to fixing or building things. For me, lending a hand is part of the journey, and I see work and helping others as no problem at all.

I’m easygoing, respectful, and flexible, happy with both quiet evenings and spontaneous adventures. Couchsurfing, to me, is a way to connect on a deeper level while building friendships across the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling through South America and looking to connect with people who are up for sharing experiences, adventures, and maybe even some crazy ideas along the way. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay, but about meeting locals, travelers, and creating moments together.

When I return home, I plan to build a campervan and start a long-term journey. Couchsurfing will then be my way of giving back, offering people a ride, a place to sleep, and the chance to spend time together on the road.
