CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking in Canada

ABOUT ME

It's about time to give that profile a little update. I've been in Montréal since the beginning of October, living my long desired dream of backpacking in Canada for a year. Being out of my comfort zone teaches me a lot about myself; who I am, who I want to be and that I actually love my life back home. Here in Montréal I try to nurish my body and soul, basically with bouldering, bare foot running, Yoga, being a vegan foody, being with wonderful people.
Be welcome to check out my blog, although most of it is in German. http://maxistravels.tumblr.com/

PHILOSOPHY

"Indeed, it has affirmed my belief that our purpose as spiritual beings is to follow our bliss, seek our passions, and live our lives as inspirations to each other. Everything else flows from that. When we find inspiration, we need to take action for ourselves and for our communities. Even if it means making a hard choice, or cutting out something and leaving it in your past. Saying farewell is also a bold and powerful beginning." Aron Ralston

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What I like most about CS is spending such an intense time with people I haven't met before. It is great to get to know people via CS because they invite you to their homes and share their life with you for a while. Having a great time with hosts and their friends are the best part of my travels when I'm travelling by myself.
Up to now I've made very enjoyable experiences with CS. I couchsurfed in Canada, England, Ireland and on the Isle of Man and I have met wonderful people. I've also had a few couchsurfers staying with me and it makes me happy to see that people can put so much trust into each other.
