Overview
About Me
I am yearning for new experiences and adventures. I love to meet, listen and understand new people - seeing what moves and motivates people in this world. I've been on the road, leading a semi-nomadic life for the last year - working online and going from place to place. I have seen old friends and made new and have fallen in love with more places that I can count.
I am passionate about seeing the world change - I used to work in human rights before getting on the road and would like to return to that field eventually. I think people's capacity to hurt and harm each other is enormous but so is our capacity for loving life and seeing the good in it. We must try to see the beauty in the world even when it seems very dark!
I am an active person and love to hike, dive, swim, run...let's go outside and be in the sunshine for hours and finish it off with some great drinks!
Most of all - let's talk, discuss, laugh and share - isn't that what it's all about?!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have met incredible people through couch-surfing and I believe it is a way to not only connect to other like-minded souls around the globe but also to teach each other a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I will say that I appreciate my last few years traveling and think seeing as many places as I've been lucky enough to is pretty-fucking-cool! However, think what is "amazing" to some can be quite usual to others and vice versa. So let's talk!
