About Me

I am adventurous and always looking for new experiences. I enjoy backcountry hiking, ski touring, bicycling, music and trying anything new. I enjoy discussing topics beyond small talk and I am very calm, open-minded and respectful.
I'm particularly interested in sustainability and how it is interconnected with the world's other socio-economic issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted a few people, slept on some couches and attended a few events. All were great experiences! Met some very fun and cool people and really enjoyed it.
