About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hitchhiking & traveling across 6 continents for 5 years without taking any airplanes.

ABOUT ME

I am a happy, colourful, integer and warm hearted adventurer who has been living out of my backpack for the past 5 years. I love exploring unusual and beautiful places around the world while meeting and connecting with people. I believe that everybody has his or her own unique stories and I love hearing them and sharing my own. I am very interested in the skills, interests and dreams of others, learning from them and being inspired. During my travels, I have experienced and seen amazing and magical things, learned lots of new languages and skills. I like challenges and making new dreams come true. My current dream is a shared project with my partner to hitchhike from Ireland to Alaska, crossing six continents, while documenting the whole trip through film and photo (www.journalofnomads.com).
I have lots of interests, starting from film and photography to writing, arts, music, spirituality and philosophy, outdoor activities,... When I'm not taking photos or filming, you can find me drawing, reading, writing, daydreaming under a tree or just doing nothing at all and enjoying the moment itself.

PHILOSOPHY

With a quote from Henry David Thoreau:
"I went to the woods because
I wished to live deliberately,
to front only the essential facts of life
and see if I could not learn what it had to teach
and not
when I come to die
discover that I had not lived."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think CS is a great project because you can share your home(town) and knowledge with other people and in return you meet people with new, interesting views and lifestyles. With this project you give travellers the chance to know your country and town better in a way they can't learn from (guiding) books.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Already met many lovely, wonderful and interesting people!
