About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get back my wanderlust and see the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventures guy with passion for travelling and photography. A genuinely nice guy who loves to meet new people and see new places. Always up to something. Love having a good laugh, good food and good company. Always up for new adventures. Dream of finding my palm beach where I can just relax and exsist.

PHILOSOPHY

To travel is to live. You gotta get out there, open up your mind and soul and your eyes. It's a wonderful world out there. Not so different from your own as you might think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just want to be a part of this amazing community and do my best to be a good guest and hopefully one day, a good host. I always like to offer my help wherever I stay. I am a tidy person and I love to cook and bake. Also I enjoy sharing life's experiences and travel stories, tips and advices.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been many years since I surfed around on couches. Last time was back in 2008 in Glasgow. Unfortunately my old account has gone lost. I had made some great friends that I would love to meet again and have here on my new profile. In a way I'm starting all over and hope to make more friends and contacts along the road. I think this is a great place to meet likeminded people and I will do my best to be the best surfer/host I can be.

Interests

I have a lot of interests but the main are; Travelling, photography, learning new languages, cooking, cykling and hiking in the mountains, and bunch of other things.

I travel as often as I can afford, I take a lot of photos and turn them into art. I'm always planning the next trip, even when I'm travelling. I'm a very social and outgoing guy and I would love to make more friends all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to many kinds of music, but my favorites are country-rock and old school country, Jazz, Latin (Bossanova) Lounge, Chillout and 70's Disco, to mention few. When it comes to movies or tv, I have a broad taste. But I don't like horror nor scary movies of any kind. I am a sucker for sci-fi and Star Trek.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I climbed a mountain in NSW, Australia, called Mount Warning. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but one of the most worth it. The view was amazing! And the butterflies where huge! In all imaginable colors... A trip I'll never forget.

The second thing is my very brief stop at Mission beach in Queensland... We had a quick stop on our way to the hostel, and I took a look at the beach. It was one of the most beautiful places I have seen with my eyes. I am sorry it was so short. I would love to go back one day. It now feels only like a wonderful dream...

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in Buddisht filosophy and karma. Cause and effect. What goes around comes around. So remember to treat others as you want to be treated :)
