About Me

"To see the world,
things dangerous to come to,
to see behind walls,
draw closer,
to find each other,
and to feel.
That is the purpose of life."

Just out of university and 2 months to Hitchhike and travel Europe. I am social worker and work with youth with problems. I use experiential learning (learning by doing in nature) as a way to help them grow. In my spare time I watch a lot of movies or can be found in the woods.

Just read the rest or meet me to find more about me, because only real connection can be found IRL.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in the comforts of my own town, own people, own culture. I want to meet other people, other ways of thinking, other cultures and places. I am going to Hitchhike and try to get out of my comfortzone.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music reflects my mood, so I listen to everything
Movies, OH where to start. I cry to Disney movies, I look at the marvels of the universe, I look at the most obscure art house movies.
Books are mostly informational, about psychology, nature, spirituality, etc. but love the narrative of Grandfather from Tom Brown Jr.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many things. I have been born, grew to be a sort of grown up.
But recently climbed my first 3000m mountain in hip deep snow. That shit was bongus.
I sleep a lot in the woods, just go there for a couple of days.
I've done a vision quest like the native americans
I've done a multi-day hiking trail in belgium
