Overview
About Me
Originally from England but now living in Cologne, Germany.
From 2014-2015 we motorcycled for 9 months half way around the world from Peru to New York on a 125 cc Yamaha with a budget of 10$ per day. 28,000km 16 countries and 17 states. The USA was our cheapest country.....
I enjoy a beer and to share travel stories. I'm not fussy about where I sleep as I have slept in caves and temples on the regular. I do not act like a caveman :)
I have undergone several Vipassana 10 day meditation courses (in Thai temples) without speaking. 10 hours per day for 10 days so I'm pretty relaxed and balanced I would like to think.
I speak English, German, Spanish and Thai. I have travelled in over 45 countries.
Looking to hang out or find somewhere to stay while hearing travel stories and learning from you!
PHILOSOPHY
"Believe"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I welcome friendly travelers from anywhere in the world. My doors are open to anyone who shows respect for our home. We do not expect anything in return :)
