About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit Iceland

ABOUT ME

I have traveled a lot and I love it. Meeting new people and properly exploring a country is really important to me. Couchsurfing a few years ago when I was solo cycling from New Zealand to the UK. It was a great way to meet people and find out about a country.

Now I am back into settled life again, my adventures are mainly during holiday times from work. The next adventure is to Iceland. I would like to Couch Surf again for the cultural exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Fit as much fun stuff into life as possible. Try not to damage the environment or other people in the mean time. Try and leave the world in a slightly better way than if you had not been here at all.
