About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On holiday after an injury ... Walking 3000k over 4 months does that to you !

ABOUT ME

I took off right after graduation, 6 years ago now. I have been to europe, russia, asia, south-east asia where I became a Master Scuba Diver Trainer on the island of Koh Tao (Thailand), india, australia, new-zealand, ... Most recently I set out to walk the length of South America, yes solely on foot, but an injury to my sciatic nerve forced me to stop after I had already walked Colombia.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty sure Mike Horn one day said that you've only live about 30,000 days in your entire life. Based on that, you shouldn't waste any by doing something you dislike, therefore I'm traveling ! I'm easy-going, love (pre-disney) star wars, music, ... I'm always eager to discover new things and can't wait to meet you !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing a city is one thing. Staying with a local helps me discover it in a much more complete way. I'm here to share moments and stories. It's all about meeting new people and creating new friendships along the way.

Interests

I love to cook. And I'll gladly share my passion for it. Love music as well, I play guitar and drums(ish). Really into scuba diving and free diving, I'm planning on buying a sail boat to travel the oceans.
