I'm a sailor and geoscientist who grew up in a big forest.
I love the blue of the sea and the green of the trees and I'm curious whether I'll find a balance between them at some point in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people, have a laugh together, share some food and have a joyful time.
Hostels are usually a bit too crowded for me, so I prefer couchsurfing.

Interests

I like to be outside: rock climbing, sailing, mountain biking, hiking, staring into a campfire for hours...

I very much enjoy listening to music, playing instruments and singing (sometimes it feels like life depends on singing for each other).

I care about people and nature; about the way we live our lives freely, and so that others will be able to do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was travelling through the UK with a good friend and we were sleeping in our car. After a concert in a small town, a woman asked us how we ended up there and invited us to spend the night at her house. We had a wonderful evening, slept in a most comfortable bed and had breakfast together the next morning. She was one of the kindest people I ever met and my friend and me felt very blessed. We still send her postcards and exchange emails from time to time.
