My friends know me as a human who perpetually smiles, takes nothing too seriously and always tries to find something silly, fun or stupid to do.

I love nature, and do all I can to interact with it, whether it's surfing, skiing, freediving or eating in the market (food counts right?)

However, the highlight of travel for me is people. I love strong opinions, warm hearts and open minds. Or anyone that can show or teach me something new, which fortunately is every person.

I have just come by bicycle and hitchiking from Hanoi, Vietnam to Turkey through the Stans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet some people to travel together and experience a place in a different way or just to chat and exchange ideas.

Interests

At home, I spend as much time as I can in the outdoors; camping, snow, surfing and freediving.

I enjoy the contrast of the tranquility on nature and the engulfing madness of a crowded market.
Though I can appreciate aspects of modernity and organization, I hate bureaucracy and sanitised space

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read dystopian fiction, science and history.
I like electronic music in the right setting, but I prefer listening to more raw music from the good old days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchiked from Namibia to Malawi, with my younger sister

Teach, Learn, Share

We are all the same
Listen to the reeds as they sway apart;
Hear them speak of lost friends.
At birth, you were cut from your bed,
Crying and grasping in separation.
Everyone listens, knowing your song.
You yearn for others who know your name,
And the words to your lament.
We are all the same, all the same,
Longing to find our way back;
Back to the one, back to the only one.

Rumi
