Hey friends, I’m Jared.

I love to be outdoors!
Hiking, running, Bouldering, biking, swimming, Via ferrata’s, finding amazing views, etc..

I’m living and working in Germany as a photographer, videographer and writer 📸🗞️

My goal with using Couchsurfing is to experience as much as I can, form life-long friendships and make unforgettable memories 🌅🎆🌌🏞️🏝️☀️

I always look forward to meeting and becoming friends with the amazing people on Couchsurfing, BeWelcome, etc.. They have been the most Inspiring, Kind, Adventurous and Optimistic people I’ve met in my life 🙌🏼

PHILOSOPHY

~ Better to have a short life, full of what you like doing… Than a long life spent in a miserable way.

~ That happiness you felt.. Don’t ever forget it!

~ We suffer more in imagination than in reality..

~ We are something that the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing 🌊

~ Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By using Couchsurfing, I hope to form life-long friendships with the amazing people here and to learn from the lives they’ve lived and hopefully make some new memories together 🛣️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• I ran non-stop across an entire country 🇱🇮🏃‍♂️💨

• I went 3 days without any food or water 🏜️

•I dove into a waterfall in Switzerland in the middle of October 🥶 I almost didn’t make it out of there

•I Climbed up toward Mount Pilatus in Switzerland with someone I met at an Air BnB and we witnessed the most epic sunset I’ve ever seen (Check profile pictures) with a sea of clouds beneath us. afterwards, 2 curious Ibex walked really close to us.

•I was hosted by a Ski-Instructor in Grindelwald who convinced me to go to the slopes with him 🎿🛤️ He spent the day teaching me to ski and even helped me to do the hockey stop and parallel skiing in one day 💪🏻⛷️ ⛷️

•I Climbed the Great DAUBENHORN in Switzerland! It’s the longest Via Ferrata (Klettersteig) in Switzerland and it was my second time doing a via ferrata 💪🏼😅

•My host Jakob and I carried 40kg of gym equipment to the top of a Mountain 🏋🏻🏋🏼‍♀️ “Too Easy!”

•While staying at a hostel in Lauterbrunnen (one of the most Magical places), I got a whole group of people to join me in renting E-Bikes and we rode them all the way up to Wengen ⛰️ 🚴‍♀️ 🚴🏻 🚴‍♂️🚴🏽

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve learned a lot about photography and videography.

I would love to talk about adventures we’ve been on, philosophical views, life experiences, etc.

I know a thing or two about cooking 👨🏻‍🍳

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help by buying the groceries and we cook together a big delicious meal! And I can wash dishes afterwards :)

I’m down to hang out and explore your city together but I can also be independent if you like.
