About Me

ABOUT ME

You will find out that I am a very friendly and polite person. My partner Nadine (CS username: NUUF) and I are looking forward to host you or to surf your couch!
Please read all of my profile-information before you send your couchrequest.

Motorbikes are my big passion.
In March 2011 my partner and I went on a 14-month ATW trip with our motorbikes. Until June 2012 we had been riding more that 40,000km in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand & Europe.

If you are on an ATW trip I would love to hear your story!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet people from all over the world and to make new friends. I do host couchsurfers and also surf couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was about 15 years old one of my teachers told me about the couchsurfing idea. I really liked the idea back then but then I forgot about it. When this website came up and I got hooked!
