Took a long break from CS, ready to get back into it. I lived abroad for a few years and hosted a lot of travelers back then. I've now established my home base in Heidelberg, right in the center of the old town and I'd be happy to host you for a few nights. I teach English and German at the University of Heidelberg and I spend most of my freetime with my dog, paddling on the river, doing archery, eating out, playing video or board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveled, hosted and surfed with quite a few CS members in the past 8 years or so?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Greeeat way to meet people with a similar attitude and view on life! Some of my closest friends over the years I´ve met through CS. Couchsurfing has helped me find jobs, internships, travel buddies, tour guides and above all, 10 different groups of people who hosted me for 6 straight months during my 6th semester in Tübingen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went horsebackriding in the pampa with Brazilian gauchos.

For my 18th birthday my father "gave" me a mountain as a present. A few weeks later we climbed the 4150m high Bishorn together.

With my parents' VW van and 3 friends I drove from Germany all the way to the Sahara in Morocco.

I washed an elephant in India.

I stayed with a family in a small village in Nagaland for two weeks.

While backpacking in Senegal and Gambia our ferry got stuck in the mud and we had to take a giant canoe-like boat with 200 other people.

I volunteered to teach German in a small village on Flores in Indonesia. We only had an hour of electricity every day and to check my E-Mails I had to travel for hours on a very bumpy road through the forest.

After I graduated from University I simply got a one-way ticket to South-East Asia, packed a suitcase and went looking for work in Vietnam. I rented a house, got a job and a dog and went on living there for a little while.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to make German Spätzle or how to kayak!
