About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, learn a new language, have at least one friend from every country on this planet!

ABOUT ME

Some days, I just cannot get out of bed. On others, my wife wonders where I get the energy to do everything I do. Love playing and watching football, surfing and other board sports, swimming, partying, road trips, hanging out, travelling. Look younger than I actually am (yay!). Here are a few words that describe me some more, that I'm too lazy to put into sentences: Movie buff. Trusting. Cat Lover. Apolitical. Star gazer. Deep thinker. ADHD. Know it all, Imaginative. Wanted to be an astrophysicist, a fighter pilot, an astronaut, a race car driver. Wanted to travel abroad before I was thirty, did. Loved it.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Enjoy your life while you have it, but never hurt anyone else in the process and 2. Don't let foolish rules govern your existence

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have a spare room so I'm willing to host. Will attempt to attend the regular location meets. May couchsurf if my "Euro trip" becomes a reality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew (commercial) over the North Pole and was stunned by its beauty and harshness. I've read about so many expeditions that to just be able to see the place with my own eyes, if even from 10 kilometers up, was quite an experience. The brilliant hues of blue and orange on the horizon will be with me forever!
