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.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like electronic, funk and indie music. Prefer independent movies and the directors Tim Burton, Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Snorkeling with whale sharks (Philippines) - Balloon ride over Bagan (Myanmar) - One of the highest bungee jumps 216m (South Africa) - Cage diving with white sharks (South Africa) - Zip line from the top of the Atomium (Belgium) - Bobsleigh down the Calgary Olympic track (Canada) - Crossing the Alps by foot
