About Me

ABOUT ME

I´m an outgoing and very open minded person, keen on meeting new people..
I love traveling (roadtrips, backpacking, camping,...), bbq, play board games, run, play soccer, trying new food, beer, wine, paintball, surfing, snowboarding, beachvolleyball, climbing, biking, movie nights, chilling with weird people and talking about travelexperiences, politics and entrepreneurial ideas. And other stuff...

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to be a good person and respecting other people as much as I can, while trying to get as much out of this short life as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to surf/host but mostly using the social community features to meet up with awesome people..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met great couchsurfers while traveling in China and Canada and then started hosting and going to/organzing events in Germany. In the last years I was active in the community in Minneapolis and now I moved to Riga and I'm looking forward to meeting/hosting people here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could be a speaking partner if you want to work on your German or a training partner if you have a certain sport goal you aim for. I would be interested in working on my spanish and (re)learning some guitar basics.
