About Me

I'm a relaxed, laid back, easy going guy. I love to meet new people and discover new countries, cities and towns through meeting local people and hanging out at the local spots. The main street has all the bright lights and razzle dazzle, but its the dimmed back streets where the heartbeat of a city or town really exists. I enjoy the outdoors. Mountain biking, hiking and scuba diving are some of my hobbies. I love a good movie or a good book and looking forward to season 7 of got!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing so I can meet new people and explore new places in a chilled way. Travelling is about sharing experiences and time with interesting people, sharing stories about travel, life and creating new stories through experiences shared while travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a broad taste in music from Pearl Jam to Prince, Crowded House to Midnight Oil, Rage against the Machine to Smashing Pumpkins, Tame Impala to Vök, Muse to Def Leapard.
I enjoy movies based on real life events as well as Sci-fi and nature doco's.
Once I start to read a good book, I often get engrossed and find it difficult to put down. Reading is something I'd like to have more time for.

Scuba Diving with Sharks in the Pacific Islands.
