“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain

Travel to me is always associated with adventure. You may wonder how they go together. Let me explain, I travel to meet people, culture and learn about history. Who doesn't right? But I always prefer to go off the beaten path, my adventures include motorbiking across Vietnam, driving the length of the UK, surfing in Indonesia and Sri Lanka and cycling across Turkey. Through my adventures, I've learnt to take more sustainable methods of exploration, like cycling.

Now, I set off on my second cycling trip across Eastern Europe and hope to trade travel stories someday.

Besides a traveller, I'm an automotive engineer who loves playing theatre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals is always one of the highlights on any trip, sharing stories and adventures.
