Hello there!

On my way from Germany to New Zealand by bicycle!

After 25 countries, the end of my trip is getting closer and closer. Yet, I am not finished at all! There is so much more to explore on our beautiful planet (and by bicycle it certainly is the most genuine way to do so)

Transportation apart from cycling: Bus, train, ferry, hitchhiking, minivan, taxi, tuktuk, songthaew, police escort - no plane so far!!

Genuinely interested in meeting people from around the world, sharing different perspectives, debating and discussing opinions, enjoying time together and making amazing experiences. Besides, I love to dive in other cultures, languages, food and traditions and want to explore new places on a daily basis. My mission: Adventures every day!

29 years of age (still feeling like 16 tho). Before cycling, I was playing basketball, badminton, chess and the piano :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From my point of view, it is the best way to get to know people and cultures in a non-touristic manner. It's an easy way to connect to others, to get in touch with the everyday life of locals and learn things from them that you cannot gather from the standard sources.

Interests

I am interested in science, history, geography, cultures, religion (thank god I am an atheist), animals, sustainability, (geo)politics, languages, cooking (especially vegan/veggie), adventures and useless knowledge
