About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my own way in life, just keep on moving forward...

ABOUT ME

I'm a nomad. I want to keep moving, keep finding new places to explore and meeting new people to share my life with.

Sometimes I'll talk and laugh my head off and others I'll be quite and shy.

I don't know what else to say, guess you'll have to meet me to find out.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't spend too much time thinking about stuff....

JUST DO IT. REGRET IT LATER.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host so that I can give back to this awesome community, sadly I haven't really had the time to do this as much as i wanted.

I go to local CS meetups when I can, now n' then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Backpacked across Asia/Europe and surfed with people here and there, not much, but want to surf some more its a great experience.

Interests

For me the most amazing feeling in life is finding out the unknown, finding out what's around the corner, over the hill and down that road.

Exploring new and old places alike gives me that tingly feeling, i just want to keep going and going.

I dabble in photography from time to time.
Sitting at a table with good friends and a good bottle of wine. Nothing better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Im a fan of reading, any literature that captivates the reader and sucks them in, fic and non-fic.

Im a huge fan of Electro and Synth. I dont mind some old school hiphop, im open to anything and everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

HH'd through Europe 3 times (Once North, once East, once South)

I can't relate an AMAZING experience into a small box of text, I'd rather just tell it to you in person :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you Afrikaans/Dutch - Would love to learn Japanese - I can share with you my passion and knowledge of food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Someone who you can sit back with and talk about experiences and life and anything really, preferably over a bottle of wine :)

England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates
