About Me

Hi 🙂
I've recently graduated my PhD in arctic research and I am now traveling through the US from Canada on my small motorcycle... To California.
After that I'm heading to Mexico to walk from Cancun to Tijuana and produce an environmental documentary.a
I can talk for hours about my travels and environment and politics and... And love to hear and learn about others.
I travel on a very low budget, so if you happen a have a small piece of floor where I can put my camping mattress and sleeping bag, that would be great, and you can talk to me about your city and your region 🙂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a 8 months travel through America, and I want to meet interesting people 🙂

A few years ago I've crossed Asia by walking and cycling from India to Russia for 10 months, meeting scientists and NGOs about water problems in Asia.
