About Me

* Podemos también hablar en español. Me gustaría practicar.

I'm a traveller, diver, environmentalist but foremost human wanting to explore different facets of life. I've been working around the globe as a SCUBA diver for the past few years.

Now that I have a nice little space to share I wanna give back to the traveler community. If you would like stay with me:
- tell me a little about yourself, your trip and traveling companions...
- make sure to have read my profile and that our characters fit...
This is an open-minded space so there's no tolerance of racism, homophobia, xenophobia and inappropriate behaviour (noone here is interested in hook-ups!). We do however love hanging out and sharing through conversation, food, music and beer. If you're just in it for a cheap holiday, please find another place.

For myself, I love nature and being outside, meeting people and building meaningful relationships, sharing interesting conversations and loving/peaceful moments.
I’m currently working as a SCUBA instructor in Mexico if you want to learn how to dive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise, I can probably get into most things but do have a weak spot for artists like Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Philip Glass... Also love psychedelic folk and endulging in a culture by listening to local sounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing the kindness of people everywhere - a farmer offered his house and food when a friend and I got lost on a roadtrip in Germany, a bus driver came to us with coffee when we put up our tent close to a bus station in Reykjavik, a Gasy man wanted to give me his shoes when I was walking barefoot in the streets of Tulear, a Vietnamese man drove me back home when my bike broke down in the night of New Year's.
It's these things to let you know that we live in a kind and wonderful world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Just enjoying life, love sports and music.
If you're a climber, scuba/free diver, snowboarder, surfer or whatever, I'm all yours :)
I always carry some sort of instrument with me. I'd be happy to show anyone or jam!
