I worked for an oil company, and felt my soul dying a little bit every day. So I decided to leave the company and go for an extended journey around the world.

So far I really love the freedom of not having to spend 8 hours a day in an office looking at spreadsheet. But there are of course days where I feel a little useless :-)

As of 2016, I have moved to Hualien, Taiwan, where I live with my girlfriend Pei Ru. Profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2002515178

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love both hosting guests and staying with hosts. I am a big supporter of the sharing economy. It allows one to travel the world and meet all sorts of great people without having to be a millionaire. What's not to like!

Interests

Travel, history, science and philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a wide array of books, movies and TV-series. The books that have influenced me most is:
Jacob Fisker: Early Retirement Extreme: A Philosophical and Practical Guide to Financial Independence
Rolf Potts: Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel

Both are very much in the spirit of CS. I highly reccommend them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking up at the sky on a clear winter night and just imagine the sheer vastness of everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about the places I visit. I have great interest in language, culture and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some of my travel experiences. I have many photos I can show. Just ask for anything!
