About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living a nomadic lifestyle, being free to explore the world

ABOUT ME
Graduated college in California and had a career lined up at a huge investment banking firm in San Francisco, but decided to forgo the money and live out my dream of traveling the world. Since then it's been over 11 months of traveling the world. I have dual citizenship from America and Germany. Crazy about surfing and the ocean. Always up for an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

For me travel is more about the people I meet rather then just the destination. Its those moments where you're on a bus in Spain and you meet a local who shows you a secret surf spot and then invites you to stay at their place. I feel like Couchsurfing is just an extension of that, a way to meet fellow travelers, share stories, advice, adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I won't bore you with long lists but I go through phases and always like to keep my music varied. Definitely enjoy anything with a good beat that gets you dancing.
