Overview
About Me
Hey there...
I’m currently on a sabbatical, roaming through the world and seeing where the road takes me. After a long journey across Europe, I’m now exploring India, currently finishing some Yoga teachers training—but in March, the next chapter begins: heading back to Europe, buying a motorcycle in Lisbon, and riding it back to Hamburg. Maybe even all the way up to North Cape. So, if you’ve got a spot for me to crash for one or a few nights while I sort things out, that would be amazing. You happen to know a thing or two about bikes or great routes? Even better! Let’s meet up.
When I’m not on the road, I’m a 40-year-old paramedic with a serious thing for bicycles, traveling, sharing, solidarity. More heart than brain and still often thinking. Struggling to understand mankind but deeply loving people. Exploring is my thing. I’d describe myself as a rather quiet person, though my friends insist I’m easygoing and social. They’re probably right. Or maybe we both are. 😉

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Fighting gently with myself, my ego, my habits. Every day.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’m an easygoing traveler, light on demands and big on curiosity. More of an observer than the life of the party, but always open to what unfolds. Long conversations in English? I’m all in—until my brain starts treating words like rare artifacts. Big social events can speed up that process, but in smaller circles, I find my rhythm.
I've got my share of travel stories and personal adventures, but I won’t throw them around uninvited. Let’s just see where our comfort zones overlap and shape something good from there—be it shared silence, deep talks, or laughter over dinner.
So what else can be "learned"? What about fixing quite a few things on bicycles? Cultivating mushrooms as nerdy skill...or just some ideas/knowledge/lessons Yoga has to offer...
No special needs, no drama—just a little space, a little connection, and a lot of gratitude for hosting me. 😊
