PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When hosting – I offer a mellow ambience in which to enjoy good food, conversation and movement together.
When travelling – I'm a child, full of wonder and curiosity. I want to learn about your world, values and intentions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The overwhelming level of kindness that I've experienced from strangers during my hitchhiking/couchsurfing adventures have left me with a huge feeling of awe and debt, not as in an obligation but as in gratitude. I've felt compelled to give back and I've been rewarded with amazing experience after amazing experience ever since.

Interests

My 20s
-
I focused myself on solo adventuring and risk taking - champion kickboxer, surfer, hitchhiker. I also read a ton of classic and metaphysical literature

My 30s
-
I invested all my time and money from lockdown into filmmaking. I'm enjoying this wild ride of telling great stories and I'm excited to revisit a few couchsurfers from around Europe to film some great content together
