CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an honest and open person and I wish to make the most out of this time on earth. This means having a lot of fun, seeing as much as possible and meeting a lot of great people. I've got a broad range of interests and wish to learn from as much as possible.

I don't like to plan too much ahead and live from day to day and see where it takes me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes" -Incubus, Drive

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point I would just love to meet some awesome people while i'm travelling. Whenever I get back home they (and all other couchsurfers) can expect I'll return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great experience in Tomsk (Russia) doing couchsurfing. Not only did I meet some genuine amazing people, it was also great to learn more about russia from a local perspective.
