I'm 23, used to traveling down the West coast of North and South America. I finished my education Forest & Nature management in June 2018 and have worked as an arborist, woodworker and timberframer since.
Back home I am a mentor at boyscouts, every Saturday I teach +- 20 kids (15-18 y/o) a lot of things. For example; planning & organizing an event, making a fire and cooking on it, learning knots, navigating, but also cooperation, trusting each other, respecting and accepting the other children, sometimes we also do social work for locals or events nearby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new (and local!) people, travel basic and of course support the CS community & offer people a free place to stay when I get back home after my current journey.
