Hey!

A bit about me: I was born in England, grew up in New Zealand, and now living in Germany. I have many stories to share from the 5 years I spent living/working at sea, and travelling around the world to over 60 countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and hear their stories; and absorb their culture.

Interests

I love hiking, climbing, swimming, sailing, cycling, skiing. Basically anything which involves being outdoors.

• cooking

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Mt. Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe was a memorable experience.

Spending a night in the middle of the desert in Iran and watching the stars with the locals (only 5 people lived there) while having amazing traditional food

Hiking the Inca trail and marveling about the wonder of Machu Piccu when we got there by sunrise on the 4th day

Transferring our old van into a camping-suited hippy car and travelling 4000 kilometres through my own country, Holland, Luxemburg and Austria with it

Discovering Jaguar foot prints in the Amazon rain forest (Manu National park) and figuring out we might be followed. In general exploring the amazon and getting to see the amazing wildlife in it.

3 weeks wild camping in Norway- just putting up your tent on an amazing lake and having the place all to yourself.

Climbing up one of the highest sand dunes in the world
