About Me

Hey world,

I travel places. Writer a song. Make a viddy about them

Guilty pleasures included
Special coffee with pastries
Unique local dishes
Tortilla de patatas
Pasta
French Fries

That means I gotta work hard to keep off the fat :D

Anyway enough about me, let's talk about you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I realize that travel is the BEST and FASTEST way to get to know yourself on a deeper level. That includes: your passions, talent, skills, ambitions, etc.

Since I'm traveling the world I have made it my ambition to
a. Make videos about my journey
b. Write songs

So hoping to connect with local singers and musicians. Fellow travelers. And pretty much anyone who's loves meeting new people and maybe sharing some local insights :D

Hopefully see you soon! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and travel frequently

Going to Bethlehem (Palestine) on a whim, in the evening

A lesson in humility:
Coming in Malaysia in the middle of the night. No internet. No internet. No sense of direction...

After finding out I was walking 6 miles away from my destination - basically walking the other way - two local Malaysian youngins on motorbikes offered me a ride. In the middle of nowhere in Kuala Lumpur at 04:30 am. I trusted them when they could've easily taken my suitcase including my filming equipment

They genuinely wanted to help me. One of the guys said: "If I'm in a similar situation in the future hopefully God will send me help too..."

Teach, Learn, Share
