Summer 2011. My first 'big' trip outside of Europe. Vietnam, its people and its culture captivated me. They confirmed my thoughts exactly. This is what I wanna do. Meet people, learn from them, see the world we share.

Summer 2016. Some citytrips and another 'big one' later, I can say that going abroad isn't just a vacation to me. It's a revelation, even it's quite close to home, even if it's for just a couple of days. I tried to see some more parts of the world and I think I succeeded. This is the way I want to go. I already learned a lot from people from all over the world, I think this is one of the most precious gifts life's given me so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because couchsurfing isn't just a way to go on a cheap vacation. It's a way to meet people, to enjoy their hospitality and to give something of yourself in return: by sharing a meal, great stories or just by lending an ear.
