About Me

I love travelling, wakeboarding, hiking, cycling, reading (Brownie points if you like Camus), and like to to laugh. I am curious about almost everything (except football). I'm looking forward to have a chat with you. Can teach you to play unicycle hockey - but let's start with riding a unicycle ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is full of lovely people and it's great fun to meet them.
Sharing stories brings people closer together, it inspires them, and it makes them understand each other as well as the world a bit better - there's nothing to lose and so much to learn.

PS: After three years in college accomodation, I eventually got a flat with a couch again - woop woop!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Tibet - probably the most random thing ever. Despite ending up in a place 1500km from where I planned to go, it was the best journey so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to make a cheese cake and theoretical engineering - but don't expect that I'm able to fix anything that's more complicated than a bike.

Does anyone know how to do crocheting?
