About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get better at ski-ing and at goto Svalbard or even wingsuit in Scandinavia

ABOUT ME

I love sport (doing it, not watching it on tv) as that is one thing IT's really need to do. We've got 2 dogs; though they can usually not travel with. I like travelling and adventures and experiencing new stuff (where stuff is an all encapsulating term for anything from trying out a new skydive position to throwing snowballs at people sitting on chairlifts).

PHILOSOPHY

If at first you don't succeed, try harder.
Better, faster, gone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My list of references aren't the longest but I hope to add to it :)

Interests

Sports such as skydive,running,swimming,cycling, ice skating. Adding something to the house (firepit, garden or something inside).
Meeting people(when asked why you are in the market in an interview; the wrong answer is; to meet new people).
Adventures such as hiking, snowboarding, skiing and challenges(logical problems to head-downs or wingsuit in the air).
Good dance parties with the likes of Armin.
