After finishing my master studies in Vienna I moved back to Netherlands: Amsterdam. Working for the city on sustainability. I'm living there with Liv my long time girlfriend with whom I have done many earlier travels.

Interests: If you´re into it I´m sure I´ll like it one way or another. I like good stories, great songs and honest people. I dont snore and am looking forward to meet you!

One of my first travels started on a 132 ft. traditional sailing ship (brig, Eye of the Wind), after having had the honour to sail with them for 3 months around Spain, across the Atlantic and exploring the Caribbean. From the Dominican Republic I headed south, hithchiking through Costa Rica, Panama into Colombia. I travelled through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia until Argentina. Got robbed, hithchiked without money or passport to Buenos Aires and said goodbye to beautiful South America from Rio de Janeiro.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Through couchsurfing I get to see the things and meet the people that I like most, I like to listen to stories and not spend my days-budget on a mango.
