CURRENT MISSION

hitchhiking around the world by boat

ABOUT ME

I am 27 years old and quite my job and gave up my home. Since august 2009 I'm hitchhiking around the world by boat and hope to see and meet a lot of different countries, cultures and people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life the way you want don't be bound by things like I'm to old or I have a job now

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

to get kicked out of Colombia. Okay that doesn't sound so amazing, but the way we were treated by the military and immigration people was just awesome (and it is a good story to tell, so ask me about it)
Sailed across the Atlantic from Europe to the Caribbean and in April I'm going to do it again! (only then back to Europe or Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: one or more of my famous improvised soups! (only if you have a blender though ;)
teach: how to hitchhike around the world by boat!
Learn: anything, especially if it's fun, but completely useless
share: exchange books, to carry your whole bookcase when traveling around the world is just a bit to heavy...
