CURRENT MISSION

See birds and study BIOLOGY!

ABOUT ME

I love being outdoors. I think nature is radical. I love Germany, parts of the US, and Costa Rica. I like to travel and learn languages. I really like birds and bats. I like taking photos, eating Salsa Lizano and drinking coffee. I like running and rock climbing.

PHILOSOPHY

If there's a fork in the road, take it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed on a couchsurfers couch in Florida, and want to offer my couch in Amherst, MA, USA to other travelers who need a place to stay for some nights. Being stuck is not cool, and sometimes all you need is a corner to throw a sleeping bag, and sometimes by finding those people, great unexpected things can happen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A good friend found a home in Montreal for some weeks, via couchsurfing.

Staying with couchsurfer Ted in Ft. Lauderdale in Florida was the coolest random experience I have had in a very long time. I ended up in Miami without a place to stay, got ahold of him, and he invited me to stay without hesitation. Had 2 awesome days of hanging out and cruising through the Everglades with him.
