Hi, my name is Jakob :)

Im 20 years old and I'm about to embark on my first solo trip around Europe.
I love hiking and seeing the nature at its finest. I'm hoping that Europe will help me to be a little bit more adventurous. If anyone has any tips on what to see, where to go, I would love to hear from you! ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would really like to meet the locals in the areas that I'm staying in and immerse myself in the local cultures; as well as making some new lifelong friends along the way would also be a bonus.

+ I like to save money and travel cheap :D

Interests

Some of my adventurous hobbies include; Rock Climbing and Hiking. (I would love to try some more things like Kayaking, Parasailing, white water rafting. Anything that would make me look so cool if I took a photo on my Go Pro :P [sarcasm intended])

I also love binge watching movie's or TV shows but don't ask me any of their names because I honestly would not have a clue who you're talking about...

I love to play the Guitar, I have a 12 string along with the many others that my dad collected. Self taught, I am really not that great but I guess I would get an A+ for enthusiasm.

I have a reputation for being the male version of the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons. I don't actually understand why, I only have 3 cats and two cat shirts. (I'll add some photos :D)

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess you could say that I have a very eclectic taste in music, I love to listen to a variety of music!
Some of the main people I listen to are;
Paramore
Michael Buble
Sam Smith
Milo Greene
San Cisco
Fleetwood Mac
Jamiroquai
Zedd
Sia
Metallica
Nightwish
Placebo
T-Swizzle (Taylor Swift)
And some country music (don't judge).

One of my favorite movies since I was a kid is Miss Congeniality because Sandra Bullock is amazeballs.
Some other movies I really like are;
I Robot
Pitch Perfect
The Amazing Life of Walter Mitty (mainly because I want my life to be like his, not so much the daydreaming but the adventures).

Can't say that I'm much of a reader, I have been trying to improve though. I am currently in the process of reading Gone Girl. I quite enjoy a psychological thriller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done was hiking to the highest peak in Australia. It was definitely an amazing experience and concreted my love for hikes and the natural beauties in the world.

A funny thing that I have done was acting in a commercial for Hong Kong Real estate where I had to pretend lasers were coming out of my hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have little to teach (i think anyway) but I am definitely willing to learn. I honestly believe that you learn new things every day and the best way to learn is through other people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my niceness??? I'm not sure if that is actually a thing but if it is I can share it.
I can also talk to pretty much everyone, I am not afraid of a conversation :)

Along with photos of my cats... ... ...
