About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Life

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty relaxed person and enjoy family life. I love to travel with my wife and to meet new people. We live in an amazing world and I really want to experience as much of it as possible.

I've been described as "restless" and don't like sitting around - doing nothing. Except with a good book/movie/company. I tend to be impulsive and most of my holidays seem to happen on the spur of the moment - which incidentally proved to be the best ones...

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no such thing as a wrong turn"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love Couchsurfing and enjoy meeting new people and getting a different perspective. My whole family very much enjoy hosting surfers and sharing stories and experiences. On holiday we are also not the typical group-tour-and-grand-hotel type travellers. I like to travel without too many plans and to meet up with locals in the less travelled spots.

Interests

Reading, hiking, nature, dancing, craft beer, camping, meeting people and seeing new places.
