ABOUT ME

3 years ago I quit my job to travel for a few months, eventually the trip took 2 years. Sinse I got on the road for the first time - I can never been the same as I was before.
I’m a bit shy when I first meet people, but hopefully that does not last for too long :-)
I love learning.
Work is a relevant part of my life, but I don’t live to work. I prefer to be in the most common place with the right person than in the most wonderful place with the wrong one.

PHILOSOPHY

everything will pass away

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, surf when I travel, and meet up as much as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got to know about CS during my South-East Asia trip from my travel partner. We've got totally awesome experience staying with local families in Java and Kalimantan, in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. CS is the great way to learn about foreign cultures, because it gives you the chance to see them from inside.

Interests
