Enthusiastic and highly social traveller. I am currently on a 1-year trip with my partner (Linda) and am enjoying local cultures and meeting nice people.

After 4 months spending in Nepal and India, from February 2017 onward, we'll be tour-biking in New Zealand for several months on our work-holiday visas.

I love nature and outdoor sports as road cycling, mountain biking, jogging and hiking.

(As I'm traveling and quit my apartment I'm not able to host at the moment, sorry!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and getting submerged in local cultures.
