About Me

I consider myself an adventurous and funny person. I always try to enjoy the moments that life gives me. After my vocational training I went to Spain to walk the "Camino de Santiago". There, I met many people from all over the world, among which I made some good friends, with whom I am still in contact. They showed me how many wonderful places exist in the world and that it is worth visiting them and getting to know their inhabitants. So I went to many countries in Europe and afterwards also to Argentina to visit my friends I made in Spain. Through that experience I fell in love with Latin America, but also got addicted to continue traveling to all the places that are fascinating me and that I want to go to. Meanwhile I decided to go back to South America to get to know it better and in fact I did a year abroad in Valparaíso, Chile in 2018. At the moment I’m looking for new experiences next to my home country and I’m curious to get to know new fascinating people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The last months I discovered a lot in South America and furthermore met a lot of wonderful people. With the idea of knowing more about this continent besides Valparaíso and its surroundings, I liked to met nice people through couchsurfing and learn more about their countries and cultures. Now, back in Europe I’d like to know more about the amazing places next to my hometown in Aachen.

Interests

There is no doubt that I like to travel and also learn more about Spanish and English by connecting me with their native speakers. I also like sports such as football, running, cycling, diving and anything that makes you feel alive, such as riding my motorcycle!
