About Me

Super easy going. I have been living out of a suitcase for the last decade and some years and always ready to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people and especially the locals and share stories, try the local food and drink. I'm also a low budget traveller and couch surfing is such a great way to budget travel and at the same time enhance your travelling experience.

Interests

I am passionate about living sustainability and creating a better world. I would like to one day build my own house and live off a piece of land and hopefully self sufficient.
I also love to learn/try out new things all the time especially if its hands on. I enjoy exercise and sport.
