About Me

I am a quiet person who can spend a lot of time alone but really appreciate Friends. I travelled a lot for my work, I also travel a lot for pleasure in North and South America, Europe, Asia. Presently I just started a trip for 1 year on my motorcycle that will take me to the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. I have been practicing yoga for the last 7 years to stay flexible in my body and in my mind. I am good at fixing things. I love being outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent too many nights in hotel rooms when I was working. I prefer to be in contact with people and share a bit of their experiences.
