CURRENT MISSION

Just finished my Master's Degree in Biology, and now it's time to go explore Eastern Europe!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old guy named Mads. I'm a nice guy, always smiling!
I have been studying Biology (mainly marine biology) and I am really interested in exploring and conserving our oceans. I really like to travel, even though I've not been visiting that many countries using couchsurfing yet. I'm always ready for new experiences, and I dream of one day having visited every single part of the world, so when the time comes, I'll look back on my life with no regrets!
I often bring my partner-in-crime along, when I decide to go out and about. Here's a link to her facebook (https://www.facebook.com/caitlin.frankfish?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really happy to meet locals wherever I go, and it makes the journey so much more interesting, when you familiarize yourself with the country or region, through someone who knows the culture and where to go. I also like to offer others a place to stay and come to visit me, but the current home situation unfortunately does not allow for it :(
