About Me

I worked in constructions for 9 years until the end of 2014.
Since than I'm traveling and that will probably last a few more years.
I traveled most of that time In South- East Asia.
The last 2,5 years I'm traveling together with Rita.
After our trip in India we will hit the roads in Europe with our van to gather the necessary knowledge that we can use to start our permaculture farm in Portugal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet new people and always the best way to be introduced to a new place/ country/ culture.
Saving some money on accommodation is also nice, but I'm more than happy to spend that money on making some food or doing something else in return.

Interests

Nature: Mountains and Beach
Food: Cooking and eating
Motorcycles: Riding and maintaining
The Wim Hof Method: Cold showers
Board games: Winning of course
