About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and enjoy every day. I quit my job back home to escape the corporate world and hope to find a life in the outdoors

ABOUT ME

I'm a kitesurfer at heart. I may have an engineering degree, but while I was back home, I lived to Kite! And when I couldn't kite, I was trying to go downhill mountainbiking or regular surfing.

After graduating, I worked for 4.5 years years before being a 'slave to the man' got the better of me and I decided to quit. I'm now on the ultimate adventure, exploring the world, with no end in sight.

PHILOSOPHY

Love life and be happy! If you're not happy with what you're doing, change!!!

I've seen to many people miserable with their life and their job...but doing nothing to change.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few couches and had an absolute blast doing it. As soon as I get home I'll be putting my couch on the market!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Too many to name, but one of my all time favourites would have to be the Shawshank Redemption

Music: I have an appreciation for just about all kinds of music be it classical, hip hop, electo, rock, indie, metal...so will listen to just about anything and love being introduced to new music!!

Books: I just enjoy a good fictional story. Things like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games are right up my alley

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job and left my home country indeffinitely so that I could get more enjoyment out of every day

Teach, Learn, Share

As I mentioned above...I live to kite. So I am always willing to teach anyone who wants to give it a go. And trust me, it will be the best thing you ever do!

I'm also known back home for making some of the best brownies known to man, so if you ever want a taste, let me know!
