About Me

I love local vibes and hidden gems. 🚶‍♂️✨
I love to go off the beaten path and find those unique, uncharted spots that truly make travel unforgettable.

I have had some amazing experiences but what makes all the difference: the people. I love a nice conversations over coffee or tea or a simple hike or walk.

Pickleball is one of my favorites these days. Do you play?

I get a kick out of serendipitous and unexpected discoveries like meandering down the alleys of Melbourne, Vietnam, Thailand or Laos on my motorbike and really doing that anywhere in the world on foot and finding an awesome cafe or bar,. 🌏🌳 ✨

Embracing the unknown, whether on foot, tram, bike, or car, has always brought me the most extraordinary experiences and connections.

🍲🌍 I’ve shared meals across seven continent and have found some of the best cultural exchanges around a tasty dish. But even if it’s a hike in the mountains surrounding Koh Phangan, Thailand or Alto Paraíso, Brazil, connecting with people makes all the difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌄 My Couchsurfing adventure is driven by a desire to meet like-minded souls, share experiences, and together, discover the beauty and diversity of our world.

So, if you’re up for a spontaneous tram adventure, a jam session, or just swapping incredible travel tales, I’m your guy! Let’s make some unforgettable moments together. 🚋🎶

I have hosted & surfed. But meetups seem to be so much fun. I really enjoy connecting with other surfers while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🦂 One Amazing Thing I’ve Done: A New Year’s Adventure with a Twist!

New Year’s in Costa Rica was supposed to be all about celebration with my girlfriend, but nature had a different plan. 🎉🌴 Getting ready for a night out, I slipped on my shoes, which were left outside our hotel room. As we hurried down the sidewalk, a sudden, razor-like pain struck my big toe. I initially thought it was a rock in my shoe, but to my shock and horror, a scorpion had hitched a ride! 🥾🚫

The sting, right before my birthday, was an adrenaline rush like no other. I remember screaming, part shock, part surprise, and then watching the scorpion crawl out as I kicked off my shoe. Terrified, we called the front desk, learning that while the scorpion wasn’t poisonous, the sting could cause some bizarre effects. 🚨😵

Indeed, it turned into a somewhat psychedelic experience – a bit loopy, a swollen tongue, and unexpected laughter. It felt more like an unplanned adventure than a disaster. Thankfully, after about an hour of elevating my foot and a few remedies, we were back on track to celebrate the night in style. 🎂🌌

This unexpected encounter was just one of many exhilarating moments that define my travel stories. From the thrill of the unexpected to celebrating life’s twists and turns, every experience, even a scorpion sting, adds to the adventure. 🌍✨

🌋 A Night to Remember in Cuernavaca: Volcano & Earthquake!

While studying abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico, I had a night unlike any other. It started with a volcano erupting, followed by an earthquake that shook us awake. The quake wasn’t too close, but it was powerful enough to feel like a sonic boom, jolting everyone out of sleep. 🌆💥

The most vivid memory? Waking up the next morning to find our car covered in a layer of volcanic ash. It was so thick, you could easily write your name in it, a surreal reminder of nature’s power. Even more astonishing, a gentle fall of ash still drifted from the sky as we headed to class. 🚗🌬️

🌌 Sleeping Under the Stars in Wadi Rum: In Jordan’s Wadi Rum Desert, I had the magical experience of sleeping in a Geo dome. Gazing up at the star-filled sky was nothing short of mesmerizing. ✨🏜️

🐘 Close Encounter on Safari in Tanzania: Imagine being on a safari ride and suddenly getting charged by an elephant! This heart-racing moment was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. 🚙💨

🦍 Gorilla Tracking in Uganda: Trekking in Uganda led to an unforgettable encounter with a family of gorillas. We were lucky to meet them just 15 minutes into our hike, a rare and fortunate experience in the lush green wilderness. 🌿🐾

🚢⛰️ Antarctic Adventure: Whales, Penguins, and Turbulent Seas: Venturing to Antarctica was a journey of a lifetime. Seeing majestic whales and playful penguins in their natural habitat was a dream come true. 🐋🐧 The highlight? Crossing the infamous Drake Passage, known as the roughest waters in the world. The intense waves had me bedbound for 24 hours, but it was all worth it for the breathtaking beauty and unique wildlife of the frozen continent. 🌊❄️

Teach, Learn, Share

🧘‍♂️✨ Teach, Learn, Share: A Journey of Mindfulness, Music, and Mutual Growth

Teach: I’m passionate about mindfulness and the peace it brings to our hectic lives. I’d love to share techniques and practices that have helped me find balance and serenity amidst chaos. 🕊️🌱

Learn: The beauty of travel is in the endless learning opportunities it provides. I’m always eager to learn from the people I meet. Everyone has a story, a skill, or a perspective that’s new to me. The more I learn, the more I realize how vast the world really is. 📚🌍

Share: Music and good energy are my gifts to the world. Whether it’s singing, enjoying a live performance, or just sharing some tunes, I believe music connects us on a deeper level. Let’s share some good vibes and create lasting memories. 🎶🤗

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good energy. Great vibes. Fun times!
