About Me

Avid traveller, or was, then I suddenly became a dad ^^
Now I try to travel when I can. IE when im not working or having my daughter. So its much less nowadays then I wish it was but still love meeting old and young people from different places in this world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting people from all over the globe and getting to know new friends and hear stories maybe over a nice dinner or a beer.

Interests

Trying to do acroyoga on my spare time, wish I had more time to go on SUP, want to learn freediving in the future.
Love spending time in nature, have a IT nerd background so still have interets in computers, games, movies etc
