ABOUT ME
Hello,
In October 2009 I got fed up of the babylon and normal life. I sold everything and bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona. Since then I’ve been travelling and working few days per month to finance my life as a freelance graphic designer. I’ve visited Europe, Africa and Asia. Next stop is Australia.
My goal is to go round the world in few years, now (May 2011) it has been over 1,5 years on the road.
I'm travelling alone and I would be more than happy to meet new people from cities I'm visiting / staying.
I have been trying to push myself to create a blog of my lifestyle and travels, but it's still under construction after two years. Maybe after my travels it good to remember what, where, how and who crossed paths with me.
Enjoy life, it's just out there!
PHILOSOPHY
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I'm travelling, so I'm only surfing couches. But when I have a home again, I definately will host other members. I love to meet new people from other countries and cultures.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I've only done couchsurfing twice, in Zurich and in Cairo. Both hosts were amazingly friendly and nice to me. So just an awesome experience and can't wait to surf on new couches and host some surfers.
