About Me

This is the first update I do in 6 or 7 years again. It's interesting coming back to this and realizing how much you've changed (and how much you haven't). I'll leave some of the old profile descriptions the same I guess.

I'm a rock climber. I work in a local gym and much of my routine is centered around it. Besides nature/outdoor related things, I like gaming and technology in general, music, literature (though I haven't read anything in some years) and have an amateur interest in physics and astronomy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted people from around the world for 6 months while I lived in my hometown. Later I surfed traveling through the country.

Interests

"I like the sea a lot and I like to do things where I can get in contact with nature. I prefer to go to the beach, woods or mountains much more than that night time party, but that does not mean I don't like it at all."

This is what was written by 19yo me and while it's still true, today I also appreciate sitting down at a bar and talking for hours with friends and sharing experiences with people (preferably with some beer or coffee). =}

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I'm not active anymore, I could give you some hints on playing the guitar or music theory in general if you're interested. I can also share some rock climbing tips and experiences. I'd love to learn and listen about anything I shared in the "About me" section. And I really, really love hearing about people's adventures and travels. =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Right now covid is here so we're all quarantined, but I'll uptade this when all this mess is over.

I can take you rock climbing and I'd love to share outdoor experiences with people in general.
