CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Travelbum who likes sports and photographie. Planning on seeing and doing everything. Most at the time all at once. sometimes with hilarious results...

PHILOSOPHY

Fortis cadere, cedere non potest.
Der Tapfere mag fallen aber er weicht nie zurück.
The brave might fall, but never wavers.

Meaning that I rather try and fail then never try at all ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch of course, and can tell stories from 101 places. Or 141 countries right now. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far tried it once in Belgium as a test, while travelling on a bicycle with a riend of mine... but i want to try out more :)

By now I have surfed in 15 different countries, mostly in South America and Asia.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots, lots and lots.

Interested in Medieval, folk and gothicmusic, but listen to everything from Jack Johnson to Lordi. Alone rap and Hiphop are a no-go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the Sahara desert all alone on a bicycle. I cycled mostly at night, because ist was 50° celsius at daytime. At newmoon, no clouds and a gazillion stars to see. Breathtaking.

The hospitality of the poorest people in third world countries. It alway makes me a little sad to think how indifferent most people here in europe are to travellers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sniper, Rescuediver, Rock/Caveclimer, Mountaineer and PC-Geek.

Would love to learn proper sailing and surfing, had a little fun experience with both, but not enough. Same goes for snowboarding ^^
