About Me

I am currently travelling around Europe after quitting my stressful job as a project management in Web Development. I am travelling to meet people and explore some parts of the world I have never seen before. I enjoy the occasional surf, but I'm still learning so I seem injure myself every time I go out. On top of that I enjoy yoga, hiking, and just about anything that gets me outside and in to nature. I also have a podcast with some friends where we review terrible films recommended to us by our dads. Learning and trying new things is very important to me, so I look forward to learning something new from you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very new to the Couchsurfing, but I'm looking for a better way to see the countries I travel in. I find travelling solo to be pretty isolating sometimes, and hostels are too often unclean, overpriced and filled with drunken youth. Meeting people in their hometown is much more rewarding experience as they know the ins and outs of the surrounding area, so it seems like the best way to maximize my limited time overseas. I also love meeting new people and can sleep in almost any condition, so Couchsurfing seems like an obvious choice for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a lover of many music genres. If I had to name 5 all time favorites I might pick; Radio head, Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens, LCD Soundsystem and Tame Impala. I'm also a huge lover of all things house/techno/electronic.
Movies and TV shows won't fit in this box so needless to say I've a fan of most of the staple TV shows, recently watched Dark on Netflix. Favorite movie is probably Pulp Fiction which I have watched countless times.
Most read non fiction and currently reading a book about the therapeutic effects of psychedelics in mainstream science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Japan solo. Such a beautiful and interesting country, with such incredible food! Ending up drinking at bars with locals and learning all about a countries culture is what it's all about!

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know a cockroach can travel at 75cm a second?

I learned that at trivia, creepy, but true.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't strum on guitars or teach you how to dance but hopefully we can share some good conversation about our experiences from around the world. I can also cook pretty well and I am more than happy to help out around your house/property in anyway you see fit, no task is too small.
