I quit my job in 2015, sold everything I owned, packed my bag and off to explore the world.

Obviously I love to travel :) meeting new people and learning new cultures.

I have always had a big passion for challenges such as marathons, triathlons, hiking mountains and volcanos etc. Unfortunately I recently got diagnosed with a prolapsed disc so that is a bit of a set back for me.... Anywas - I continue traveling the best I can and yes it has its limitations. For instance I had to cancel my participation in the marathon on the Great Wall of China :(.

So now I am looking for new challenges. I started refreshing nearly forgotten competences such as German, Spanish and chess among other things. Also in the proces of writing a book (early beginnings...). Many different project and will continue to explore the world.

I love wine and whiskey - well beers as well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have the real experience - something you cannot look up in LonelyPlanet or read on a blog.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling with a French/Argentinian couple through Central America in a Volkswagen minivan from 1974 and two dogs as well :) not knowing where we would end up for the night and sleeping under the stars in a hammock. Amazing 4 weeks!
