Hi :)! I'm Michael,

It's lovely to meet you!

I'm just a guy who sold all his things to follow his passion in life while travelling the world. You know that old saying "surround yourself with the right people if you want to grow"? I host a weekly podcast based on that truth that surrounds listeners with the right people to help them grow in three main areas; creativity, adventure and purpose. I have an insatiable love for travel (but who doesn't!?), love nature and the outdoors , have the cheekiest French Mastiff named Rubix, always enjoy meeting and connecting with new and interesting people and experiencing new cultures, I play a special instrument called the handpan and make a ridiculously good cup of coffee.

Let's be friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to try something new. To not only meet people but form lasting connections with people around the world. If you're kind, calm and happy, you're my type of person. I'm completely open to this new experience and can't wait to see where it leads me.
