My girlfriend Anja (Spanish Interpreter) and I (Brand Consultant) quit our jobs, gave up our apartments and, instead, started to travel our beautiful world :)

There's this one question that kept resurfacing in our minds every once in a while: "Is this really the happiest we can be?" Since quite a while we both wonder if there could be another version of our lives in which happiness is more than just a fleeting moment. On our trip around the world we're looking for new perpectives, authenticity and inspiring people who lead a happy, well-balanced and unfetterd life beyond material values.

We're both very much into any kind of outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, diving etc. and always up for a sponteanous adventure :)

We hope to meet and exchange with locals, to discover beautiful places "off the beaten path", to spend a lot of time outdoors and to light up some campfires around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We think it's one of the best possible ways to meet new people with similar mindsets, discover different approaches to life and learn about local cultures!
