About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See new places and meet people

ABOUT ME

Me? A PASSION for discovery, for travel and the company it can bring... Also enjoy nights out and a vacation from a vacation on the beach.

PHILOSOPHY - LIVE AND LOVE!

If my outlook on life would be a quote, it would read:

'Life is about people. So hurry up and love them.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By diving into the weird and wonderful world of CouchSurfing I plan to meet incredible people, go through new situations and give back by hosting and helping anyone I can.

Interests

Life really is about people and I am constantly looking for ways to make the dreams of those in my life come true. I love my beautiful wife and enjoy traveling with her because of her love for new experiences and languages. It is my mission to travel through Europe and South America with her.

I love to relax, sometimes too much. I love taking photographs of people, cities animals and nature in the day and night time. I then like to share the best shots and right now I am thinking of the next event that I will be able to photograph. It makes me happy to photograph moments and for really special moments, my mind likes to stop and archive a moment in my brain.
