ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and easy going guy, fun to be around and interested in all types of things from other countries such as food and architecture to outdoor type stuff like mountain biking and football!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people and to be part of a sharing community that offers connections and a place to stay for free, what's not to love!!!

Interests

Snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, music, dancing, hitch hiking, adventures, meeting new people if only for a few moments!!! I like to watch foreign language films, I love finding a new book that keeps me turning the pages and what's even better is if you find somebody to read a book or a passage for you! And my latest hobby is sea swimming all year round....it does wonders for your mind I have to say.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn to be empathetic to your close friends instead of sympathetic, it's way more helpful.
