CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, work less, enjoy more, and desperately try to improve in all the sports that were too hard for me to choose from.

ABOUT ME

Making others happy makes me happy. I'm a laid back, attentioned and generous person who enjoys having quality time with people. You can talk about pretty much anything with me. Outdoors, art, psychology, travels, crafts, cooking, music... but please, no politics! 😴

PHILOSOPHY

"It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Abraham Lincoln

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I have been traveling for the past 8 years, I didn't have a great deal of opportunities to give back what I've been given, but I believe one day I'll settle down and have a tree house for all those fellow backpackers!
Thank you so much for all the kindness, generosity and good times y'all awesome people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bikepacking Iceland in winter

Long bike trips throughout Europe

Rafting down a 7m waterfall without capsizing

Sleeping inside a hollow tree big enough for 2 people and bikes in the middle of nowhere in Turkey

Hitchhike with a boat

One year living in a forest cabin where foxes were curiously coming through the front door

Spontaneously learnt painting on a market with a local artist

Near death on a boat party with a few close friends and the midnight sun

Took a big ski jump with a fat bike on a winter night event

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to travel the world on a real tight budget!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm travelling at the moment (feels like I keep saying that a lot), so I can only offer company for drinks, or adventures, or else!
