I've been working as a Web designer/developer for a big ecommerce company for the last five years.
In the beginning of 2016 time has come to take some time off and travel the world.
I've been volounteering in Slovenia for 1 month and in northern France for another month.
I found out that the most meaningful and intreresting way to travel is to help local people in their projects, and share their life, so I kept volunteering in New Zealand, Cook Islands and Fiji, and now in Australia.
I met some incredible people with amazing stories and insights i would probably have never met doing the hostel hopping kind of travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In these months i found out the best way to connect to people is to find like minded people, willing to share and enrich their life experience, in a place where human relationship is above money!
I actaully don't like much the couchsurfing/couchcrushing concept, and like to give a hand wherever is possibile to payback for the amazing hospitaliy!

Interests

I've love rock climbing, yoga, meditation and reading everything that can feed my mind with new ways of seeing things.
I'm also a dog lover, and been aroung training fields for a long time with my wolfdog Atua (you can see him the picture).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Give up backpacking NZ. Take a 5 days sailing course, and after 2 weeks being in a gale force weather offshore of New Zealand, at night, in a sailing boat, on a 3 weeks passage to Fiji.
Good seas never made a good sailor!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned a lot of little life skill during my trip that I could help you with, from building to sailing.
Any moment is about learning new things!
