Economist and bicycle mechanic who works as an analyst in the bike industry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know new people and thus really getting to know the country. I embrace the idea of old school "travelling", but I try not to be dogmatic about it.

Interests

Interested in all sorts of bicycles, enjoy travelling/bike packing as well as cafe rides etc..

Also love playing guitar and trying other instruments every now and then, produced a fair bit of electronic music a few years ago.

Much enjoy reading too, writing about my journeys and sometimes drawing awful comics of little box shaped characters...

Music, Movies, and Books

Pre-black album Metallica, aphex twin, j dilla, Nils Frahm/Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance!, anything by Charles Bukowski/all documentaries by Adam Curtis

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my shit when it comes to bicycles and components, and a fair bit of wheel building, too. Apart from that I'm a hardcore excel user, and love applying (often but not limited to: behavioural) economics and statistics to everyday life. Other mediocre skills include cooking, taking pictures and memorising obscure facts.

What I Can Share with Hosts
