About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To create a lifestyle that allows me to travel around the world; expand my mind and comfort zone while I live a passionate & purposeful life!!"

This is something I wrote 3 years ago...
I just realized I'm currently living that dream and it's my new status quo! So, I'm in the middle of figuring out a new mission : )

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29 years old guy always looking for new ways to enjoy life!
Love travelling and to meet new people...
Currently I'm in the middle of a life-changing trip that has brought me from backpacking in the south-east of Africa to live in Panama, Istanbul, London and Singapore!

PHILOSOPHY

You are what you thought in the past... You´ll become in what you think in the present.

Make it happen! Be grateful! Enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I inspire people to travel around the world by sharing in a funny and interesting way all my adventures, challenges and achievements.

I love to exchange awesome experiences with everyone that already have been or have done things from my bucket list and to help them to accomplish theirs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept with 10 people in a 2x2 m2 room in Berlin during the World Cup of Germany 2006... Very cozy!!

In that same trip, I had to sleep under the Eiffel Tower in the Champ De Mars Park... It was the grass, my backpack and me…. Great experience and awesome view!!

Last year I used Couchsurfing to have a place to stay in Chicago for a Business Trip.. Thousand times better than staying in a hotel : )

Interests

I love many things... Here is a summary: Travel, NFL, Social Innovation, Extreme Sports, Spirituality, Entrepreneurship, Excercise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flied over the Okavango Delta taking control over the plane.

Lived 2 months with a family in a rural community in South Africa to develop a business with a local team of entrepreneurs.

I took a sabbatical semester to live in Sydney and travel to New Zealand and Asia.

I ran across the University of Melbourne with 300 other people naked for nude Olympics!!

I backpacked alone through the Southeast of Africa beginning of 2014 and I've been on the road, ever since, doing amazing projects related to entrepreneurship as a way of living.
