About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wander trough the world and make new expiences and friends

ABOUT ME

I'm 27yrs old now. And I think travelling really got me. I traveled down the east coast of Australia for one year doing different jobs, just here and there to get around. And in June 2014 I left Australia for New Zealand to join a sailing yacht with five other people. I sailed the Pacific Ocean, exploring Vanuatu, Solomon Island, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. After more remote places like Raja Ampat, I got off the boat and visited Bali. From there I flew to Vietnam, where I am currently playing around and getting along in HANOI.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

Go out there, meet people and care about them and about the environment that we all live in and we all share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a great project and community. It is about sharing. And so many people already opened their hearts and their homes for me. And I want to give something back.

I catch up with couch surfers and try to couch surf when possible. And I want to make new friends at the places I visit.

I make a great vegan banana bred as well. My friends highly recommend it :P
All my couchsurfing experiences have been great. I really enjoy meeting new people. And I want to meet them, not just to stay at there place, but to get to know them and to call them friends after that.

No is the time that I might be in the position to actually give something back and to welcome someone at my house :)

Interests

photography, skateboarding, rock climbing, surfing, hiking and just everything out in the nature. I also like to meet new people and to go out on a party safari

Teach, Learn, Share

Rock climbing I want to teach what I know, learn what I don't and above all share this great sport with everyone who's willing to, because I love it.

As I am also really interested in photography I am always keen to learn more about it and to go out and practice to improve.
