About Me

Greetings Friend

First of I am a Youtuber and try to document my Travel. If you have anny problem me parts of my Stay please feel free to talk to me about it.

Now to my Story:
The Biggest challenge I had to deal with in my life is the question of what things do I actually want to achive in my lifetime ? Waht do I want to do with my life ?
I always tried to stall this question untill last year when I finished Highschool and had to make a desigion. In order to stall Time I decidet to go on a pilgrimage on the way of St.James. So I managed to walk from Germany to Spain on foot and to hitchhike back all on a buget of around 2€ per day. But IT WAS SUPER AWSOMME !!!
When I returned I decidet that I this shouldn't be the only adventure in my lifetime and that I want to continue doing this while I can.
So I asked myselt where did you always wanted to go to? The answer wich swam back in my head sommewhere suppressed by all my doubts now became Clear . I always dreamed of going to the Amazon rainforest and lifing with indigenous people.
And since I promised myself that I will follow my dreams even if they are out of reach I will at least try to achive this goal and Furthermore had the Idear that this time I want to document my journey.

So Step 1: Hitchhike to Gibraltar in Spain

Step2-3: Try to crew on a Sailing Boat in October to Cross the Atlantic to get to Southamerica and try to get in contact with a ethnologist, Missionary or Trader who might help me get in Contact with a tribe in the Amazon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well As said above I want to travel to Southamerica but to achive that I have a few challenges to deal with like getting around, finding a place to sleep, sommething to eat, opportunities to earn money and cool shit to do.
so I am here to :
1. Find a place to sleep on my journey: I have a tent and a sleeping bag and I just need a place where I don't get botherd and If I feel like luxoury maby also sommething to charge my phone and a toilet.

2 Finding opportunities to connect with people: I have a Youtube channel and am always interested in learning as much about filmmaking as possible (I admit that i am a complete beginer). I am also interested in learning about other cultural, political and religious ways of thinking ranging from drag queen to fundamental muslem

3 Finding work: As said above I start with no money and am always interested in earning somme especially before I arrive in South America.
