‼️If your looking for a hookup then this profile is not for you‼️

🙌 My best features are my ability to tell a story, my readiness to lend a hand, and that I'm respectful and honest. I'm open minded, energetic, polite and friendly. I have a curious and communicative personality with respect for personal boundaries. I am very much an extravert and thrive on social interactions.

🗺️ With the possibility to work remotely I travel as much as I can. Mostly Europe and Asia, but open to almost anything. If you know of a good reason why I should visit a certain area for a while, let me know!

✈️ Travel for me is an outlet for my curiosity and eagerness to learn. I adore hanging out with locals, exploring hidden gems, learning some of their language, customs and routines, so I get a more wholesome picture of life in each part of the world. What I love most is to learn new recipes or interesting insights or stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

✨ I like to be active and explore the unknown, that's why I'm so fond of travel. When traveling I try educating myself on the location, the people and the culture by interacting with the locals. From every trip I hope to walk away with experiences and new connections rather than photographs. Couchsurfing helps me to meet a lot of nice people and learn about their daily life and culture.

🖖 I like the spontaneity of Couchsurfing encounters and the exchange of ideas and experiences. Surfers that are just looking for a place to crash are not for me, same for hosts that are reluctant to interact. I dislike tourist traps, which I hope to avoid with the help of a local. Truth be told, visiting tourist traps in the right company has proven fun in the past.

Interests

💖 I have a very broad range of interests, but currently I'm focused on building out a campervan and learning Spanish. Also, I enjoy food and cooking, especially as a shared experience, I exercise and I am on a journey of self-growth. I try to balance working with active adventures and more relaxed experiences. I absolutely love learning new things from other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

👀 Anything with a good storyline and preferably a plot twist that I don’t see coming. Too many storylines these days are too transparent. If you have suggestions let me know.

🐲 Who doesn’t like a good fantasy story?

🦖 Non-fiction is a big hit with me, I love learning new stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🚑 I have survived a car crash where I broke my neck end of 2023. No permanent damage, how crazy is that?!

🧡 Met a girl through CS over ten years ago and we are still best friends! Yes, I’m talking about you Sarah 😉

Teach, Learn, Share

👨‍🏫 As I said, I like to learn about culture through people's everyday life (or as close to it as possible). This includes learning some of their customs, language, hopes, dreams and fears, etc... If you'll teach I'll listen!

👨‍🍳 I also really enjoy food and cooking. I would like to learn to make dishes from your culture and will happily share some of the recipes I’ve picked up.

🆙 I’m up for anything really when traveling, so if you just want a relaxed “come as you are” hangout, reach out.

🈯️ I have picked up some French, German, Swedish and Spanish along the way. Hoping to maintain/improve them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

🙇 I'm clean, friendly and polite. If you like to go out or explore and you need someone to hang out with, I'm in! I really enjoy cooking together and eating together. I'm always ready to lend a hand, so if you have a project you need some help with, I'm in.

💬 Please consider that I will often be working while traveling, so I will not be as flexible or available all the time.
