About Me

Hey, I’m Dave, a seasoned traveller. I left home at 18 and haven’t looked back since. Now at 34, I’ve experienced life on all levels. I’m hitting the Camino de Santiago just for the thrill of it, not for any spiritual pilgrimage. I’m looking for people with wild stories, strong personalities, and a sarcastic sense of humour. No fluff, just real connections. When I'm not trekking, I'm chasing adrenaline through extreme sports like snowboarding, airsoft, and cliff diving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here for the extraordinary. The Camino is about the journey and the people. If you’ve got stories, I want to hear them. If you’ve got a sense of humour, I want to laugh with you. Let’s make this trek unforgettable.

Interests

Adventurer: From the deserts of Jordan to Bangkok’s chaos, I’ve been there, done that, and want more.
Extreme Sports Enthusiast: Snowboarding down the Alps, strategizing in airsoft battles, and leaping off cliffs into the ocean.
Trail Addict: The Camino is just my latest.
Culture Vulture: I’m all about the hidden stories and local legends.
Foodie: Street food, fine dining, you name it. I’m here for the flavours.
Storyteller: If you get me in the mood I'll tell you a story or two.
Entrepreneur: Managed to open several businesses in spite of my heavy travelling addiction.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing is fun... teaching is fun.... and learning is fun..... WTF else do you want me to say?

Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve got a ton of stories and can cook up some mean global dishes. Sushi, frijoles charros, classic pasta—you name it. I’m here to share, laugh, and make the most of every moment.

Got a personality that stands out in a crowd? Can you turn a mundane moment into an epic adventure? If you're up for the challenge, let’s meet. I’m looking to connect with those who can bring their A-game in humor, adventure, and authenticity.
