CURRENT MISSION

Encouraging everyone to have a healthy lifestyle and to respect our world using good practices like riding a bike 😃

ABOUT ME

I was born in Germany, came to Portugal with my parents, lived in Coimbra and now I live with my wife in Lisbon.

I'm very creative and lively, in fact my whole family is quite fun. I'm an only child but I have a great family and friends so I never felt alone. I love my village, small with good people.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying simple things in life and be positive!

My favourite quote is:
"The only disability in life is a bad attitude"

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

- First question... why CouchSurfing?
Because I like to experience the culture of the place I'm visiting and I ignore the tourism stuff. That's the main reason. I don't have the sense on how to appreciate monuments 🤷‍♂️

I love getting places that if I was a regular tourist I would never know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- My first experience was in 2010 in London. I travel alone but I never felt alone. It was a great time, very rewarding and this was all made possible by CouchSurfing.
- Aug, 2010: Hosted a couple
- Apr, 2011: Hosted a friend
- Jun, 2011: Hosted
- May, 2012: Hosted 3 people
- May, 2014: Hosted 2 people
- Several coffee meetups in Coimbra
- May 2019: Surfed with my wife in Amsterdam
