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.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Catch-ups. Also i'm keen to meet people to hitchhike or cyclepack with. I did it from Vietnam to Iran for a year. Now I am too old to enjoy it alone 😂

Interests

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

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
