About Me

-- NOTICE ---
Please don't send me requests more than two weeks in advance.

Hi, my future friend, the first step is done we might meet each other soon! I live in Freising, which is just one train stop away from Munich main station, so please keep that in mind before sending a request to me. Here is a short introduction about me, if you don’t mind this little detail.

I grew up in the southern part of Germany, close to the border with Austria and Switzerland, near a large lake called the Bodensee (Lake Constance) with beautiful mountains in front of it. After spending 22 years there, I decided to leave my hometown and start exploring Southeast Asia, beginning my journey with Couchsurfing.

During my time there, I had many wonderful experiences and was often overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Couchsurfing community. After four months in Asia, I returned to Germany, but I couldn’t continue my Couchsurfing activities right away. It needed some years + the COVID time 😄

I work during the week from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and I’m usually available afterward or I might go climbing. You’re always welcome to join me for a short climbing session.

On weekends, I can show you some beautiful spots in the Bavarian mountains or take you around Munich there is a lot to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The concept of Couchsurfing, which brings people together in different places around the world, was the main reason I joined the community back in 2017. During my journey, I met many fascinating people here, which made me stay on the platform for all this time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to be outside in the nature. One of my interests is to know more about the different types of plants, trees or mushrooms in Germany. I can teach you something about this if you are interested. My other passion is about climbing. I go climbing and bouldering between two or three times a week and sometimes into the mountains for this but mostly indoors. I know munich and the known and unknown sights I can show and explain some of them if we are going to spend some time in the city. I'm sure there is for everyone something to see.
