About Me

Personal Trainer based in UK. Currently training in Koh Samui - Thailand.

I think not to be a boring person at all.
My friends think I'm a brave, crazy one.
I left my home town in 2009 and I`ve been travelling around the world since then. In 2012 I have cycled New Zealand cape to cape (it took me 7 weeks and 2500Km). In 2015 I trekked unsupported to the base camp of Makalu on the Himalayas. (3rd highest mountain in the world).
I have travelled through Australian deserts, climbed active volcanoes of the pacific ring of fire, surfed amazing weaves in Indonesia, trained martial arts in Thailand, got lost in Laos, crossed Vietnam from north to south, trekked in Nepal without a porter or a guide... and much more. I like to read and write, always trying to make my life a true adventure romance.
I got back to my home country again after 4 months sailing from New Zealand to Italy... and now I live in Bristol.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life with honor and respect. I am a dreamer... a real one. Follow my dreams is my way of grasping the meaning of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my awesome house in Queenstown almost everyone was host and surfer. We had so many surfers staying there that count them is impossible. It didn't take me long to become one.

I am happy to meet surfers and hosts and share with them my time and my experiences.

I have been host and surfer few times already. Always a great experience with amazing people.

Fought naked a huge Emu in the middle of nowhere in the Australian outback that was trying to fuck my tent.
