CURRENT MISSION

Building a new life in my old hometown Freiburg

ABOUT ME

I just returned from a 1.5 year bicycle trip from Germany to Iran and back. I live in Freiburg with my girlfriend and we try to settle in a small house in Günterstal, a neighborhood of Freiburg nestled in a valley of the Black Forest. I start working as a physician in psychiatry again, but the passion for cycling sticked and I try to get out into the forest as often as possible. I also hope to keep the spirit of Couchsurfing alive by hosting travellers that come to Freiburg.

PHILOSOPHY

I have quite pragmatic views and try to remind myself just how lucky I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
