About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Supporting the local economy wherever i go...

ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic, passionate and easy going guy with a funky sense of humor.

I save like crazy, made a lot of sacrifices back home, quit my job, sold everything I have owned to be on this adventurous backpacking trip.

On this trip I'll travel the local way to experience as much new culture as possible and meeting cs host that can show me the local way of life.

Traveling style: "local way" that mean eat where the common locals eat, travel how they would travel and stay with the locals when possible.

PHILOSOPHY

“Flow in the living moment. — We are always in a process of becoming and nothing is fixed. Have no rigid system in you, and you’ll be flexible to change with the ever changing. Open yourself and flow, my friend. Flow in the total openness of the living moment. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.”

Bruce Lee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been body search at the check point by military police just outside of Santa Elena in Venezuela. Because they found my money belt with about $3k cash (multi currency) earlier and thought I was an drug dealer :-O

At that moment I thought they would take some or all of my money and detain me on the spot but I was let go. (^_^)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the correct way of gambling in a casino... And share my secrets on how to lightweight backpacking!
