COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used it on my travels, and I LOVE it! Its a greate way to meet new, and local people, that have firsthand knowledge of the places you go.

Interests

I love film, music (listening, and singing in the shower) and travelling. I like to play football (soccer), and recently started learning to wing surf. Love diving, and to go out to experience local culture and cuisine. I love to meet new people, try new things, and explore my horizon!

Music, Movies, and Books

Sooo much to choose from. I like everything, but the coolest thing is to find something that your frinds dont know of, introduce them to it, and make them love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first dive was pretty amazing. Being so lucky being at the Galapagos Islands, and being up close to sharks, really makes you feel alive.

Working as a volunteer both in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Tanzania and Uganda made me see how lucky I am.

Crossing the Atlantic in 3 weeks on a 44 foot sailboat.
And the Pacific in 3 weeks in a 50 foot sailboat.

Watched polar bears in the wild on Svalbard.

Climbed a mountain stretching more than 6000 meters above sealevel. To be able to look down at the skies while feet on the ground was an amazing experience.

Travelled from the northernmost - to the southernmost town in the world on an electric skateboard, kick bike and bike.

Teach, Learn, Share
