Towards the end of my studies I started a small jewellery business where I take coins from all around the world and cut them up and make them into necklaces, earrings, key rings and bracelets.
This inspired me to learn more about these different countries and their cultures. I have decided to take a few years off to pursue this passion.

I am interested in all aspects of different cultures, especially the languages, musical instruments and history. I love the outdoors, from hiking to surfing to running. As long as I’m exploring new places I’m happy. I try to keep myself as open minded as I can and I love the sensation of being out of my comfort zone.
I believe in a minimalist lifestyle where quality is favoured over quantity, eye contact over social media, phone calls over messages and fixing something over tossing it away.

I am an easy going , friendly guy. I love meeting people and exchanging stories. I'm up for anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
