ABOUT ME

I'm a fun-loving, open-minded, and friendly person who’s always up for trying something new and different. I love to enjoy life to the fullest and share good times with amazing people.

MY STORY

I'm from Germany and grew up near Kassel. I studied electrical engineering in Cologne and moved to Frankfurt for my first job. After living there for nine years, I decided to quit my job as a project manager at the end of 2018 to travel the world.

Over 557 days, I visited 22 countries, covered 20,000 kilometers, and even spent two weeks in lockdown in Peru. In April 2020, I returned to Germany and decided to settle in Hamburg. Since May 2020, I've been living in this beautiful city—right in the heart of vibrant St. Pauli.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the CS spirit and to stay with locals is - I think- the best way you get most out of your travels. I love the spirit of CS and the exchange with people, it really enriches the horizon and you gain a better understanding of way of living in other countries.
