About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spontaneous Endeavours

ABOUT ME

Very spur of the moment kind of person. I love to travel and see new and cool things and meet others from different culture from my own and find a new respect for them as well. I like to be in new place and be uncertain of what will come next and the chaos that comes with that, kind of be put in a situation that i've neve experienced before and let myself get lost.

PHILOSOPHY

I think i would have to say that being a good person, loving life and taking full advantage of what this world has to offer is the way to go. Work hard towards personal goals in life and do your very best to achieve them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I have an apartment with a couch you can crash on. We could also hang out in the city, go for a drink, see some sights or whatever you feel like doing. If you feel like just chilling out at home. I'm always down for that too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When i was younger i hitched around BC and met new people on the road who sometimes had houses and let me stay the night or two. I never thought that a community acualy existed. I just did it cause i had to either tent it or couch it.
I couch surfed in Argentina & Chile with some wonderful folks. met some great people and made even more friends. The experiences that CouchSurfing gives me are ones that I will never forget!

Teach, Learn, Share
