Hi there! I'm Johannes, a guy who is currently traveling the beautiful and exciting world on his bike. After I finished school, I suddenly gained a lot of freedom. I was unattached and had no more obligations. Nothing would keep me at home anymore, so I really wanted to hit the road! I took my dad's old bike, changed pretty much everything on it and loaded it up with as much weight as I could so I wouldn't go too fast, to collect as many experiences, encounters and beautiful little moments along the way as possible! Just kidding: I was and am just inexperienced and took too many unnecessary but comfortable things. I’ve been on the long and winding road since August 2021 and it has been wonderful so far.
I‘m so glad I left my cozy, familiar bubble to experience the world!
I don't have an elaborate plan and am much more guided by the randomness of life. So I‘ve been surprised again and again, discovering magical places and bumping into just as magical people. I love getting to know people and their unique stories and perspectives on life!

Soo, I could try to describe myself more, but why don't we just meet and share some fun moments together?! :)

My parents live at home and can accommodate guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's so rewarding to meet new people.
It's always lovely to share good moments, learn, help or inspire each other, have some eye-opening conversations every once in a while :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are really many stories to tell. So let‘s talk about it when we see each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I‘m always interested in different perspectives on life and would love to know yours as well.
I want to get deeper into and learn more about photography.
If you are interested in bike traveling, I can share my knowledge. I always love to cook (together)!
In case you always wanted to split apples with your hands I can be your teacher!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time, a big smile, some stories and two helping hands!
I’d also be happy to cook dinner.
If the weather is good and you know where to wild camp, then I might also have a big tent with me in which I could host you! I am always up for spontaneous stuff! :)
