About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studies are done, now to travel the world.

ABOUT ME

Today is all about having fun. And then we'll do some interesting things tomorrow, then some more fun, maybe cook up some food, more fun, a little sleep, then repeat.
I like to squeeze in as much as i can into each day, without rushing.
I love surfing, cape town, traveling and meeting people that embrace the good things that are happening all around us.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is REALLY good, so stop worrying and enjoy today!

I've just joined couch surfing and can't wait to meet all the people that i'm going to meet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, when i travelled europe i didn't know about couch surfing, so ended up sleeping in some crazy places... an old world war II bunker, an empty multi-story water fountain in the middle of a traffic circle, some random person's house in spain after asking some people whether they knew of a backpackers nearby and being invited in, train station in Netherlands. I'm an easy going kinda guy...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well i have been studying local species of mushrooms at university so i know a bunch of crazy facts that you'd never believe about mushrooms. So thats quite random. Also i'm very chilled out and think i have a good effect on those around me. I love embracing the positive side of things.
