Overview
About Me
I'm currently cycling from Stockholm up to somewhere north ... I'm not sure where yet
ABOUT ME
Um well um ... Im an Art Director, a vegetarian ( eat fish and eggs), a traveller, a climber, a south african, an atheist, a seeker. A lover of good films, good books, adventures, beautiful still places, kindness, friendship ... er yup, you know- that kinda thing...
PHILOSOPHY
"If we dont find something good at least we will find something new..." Voltaire said that, not me, but I can really relate.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE
I hosted a few people ages ago and then kind of forgot about couch surfing for a while. Now I'm traveling again and giving it a try as a surfer
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Ive couch surfed unofficially all over the world- once a very poor man in Malawi gave me his bed (i didnt know it was his only bed!) when i was sick and really needed it. Another time in the remote mountains of Ethiopia after a nasty motorcycle accident a stranger helped nurse me back to health and gave me some of his only clothes because the ones I was wearing were bloody and the rest stolen... Id like to throw back these experiences to the universe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
