About Me

Hey there,

I’m currently on my very first motorcycle adventure through Greece on the search for curvy roads, good vibes & to experience the Greece culture, famous all over the world 🔥

Before I started studying, I was part of THE oldtimer rally: Peking2Paris, which took first place in 1917. Our Volvo Amazon did a great job, 15000 km and no major defect. Thanks to the amazing mechanical skills of my Dad and superb Swedish engineering.

My time in California was unreal. Bought an old-school Volvo in SanFran and road-tripped with my new home on wheels through California.
My aim was to improve my surfing skills, meet some locals and make some new friends.

I spent half a year before I came to the US in Italy to learn the language of lifestyle. I worked in a friends restaurant in the Italian mountains and I had some nice hours skiing in some fresh powder in the Alps.

The next adventure is waiting ☠️
