After 30 years of work I give myself 4 months "time off" Down Under. Just want to relaxed travel around, see and experince the people and places where I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to see more than just Hotels and Airbnb and my Daughter recommended this as a good way of traveling. I hope to see places not easy to access for mass turist during my Trip around in Southamerika. Focus are Nature, Culture, People. My lack of Spanisch will not help with the last bit but ok ideally I find a Travel Mate that can handle some of that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchiked and Interrailed troughout most of western Europe as a Student.

Teach, Learn, Share

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to learn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever you need today! No expectation but hopefully a pleasent time.
