About Me

I consider myself an easy going and friendly fella always up for new adventures and experiences, some of my hobbies are; cooking/dinning, sports, nature, history, politics and of course, TRAVELLING to name a few!!!

When I travel I enjoy going on outdoors and cultural activities the most, I like to mix with the locals and go to those hidden and unspoiled places where less tourists get to :)

My dream trip is backpacking in South America from the Caribbean to Patagonia, or the other way around, not really fussed about the order... lol

PHILOSOPHY

Basically live and let live, give more and expect less.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was when Backpacking solo around south east Europe / Balkans in 2012. At first I was a bit sceptic about the whole concept and whether it was worth the risk of things not going well... however that first trip was a success in big part because the amazing people I met through couch surfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
