Overview
About Me
Easy going person. I love working in the creative trade of being a video editor, and on my spare time I write novels and movie scripts. I'm hooked on meditation, being in nature, working out and hanging out with friends. Deep talk with few people before small talk with many. Aiming at becoming as wise as possible. Spirituality has become an important part of my life over the last years. I keep my karma clean! ☺️
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm about to go on my life's biggest adventure, I childhood dream - to travel along all of the Amazon river. From the start of one of the streams in Peru to the very end of it in the ocean in Brazil. First though, a trip to Machu Picchu - a must see. And afterwards a visit in Rio de Janeiro - another must see.
I really like this idea of getting to know people that actually live in the places you visit, and not only tourists as my self. I've never tried this before, but have lot's of friend that really enjoys this kind of traveling. And I'm curious to find out for my self!
