About Me

Hosting
————
I like hosting because I have an empty room, and it feels stupid not to use it. In any case we always have a couch available.
Secondly I received so much kindness from people myself via this platform, and it’s important to give at least as much as taking.. Thats why I prefer hosting people who host themselves and who have a giving mindset..
Also I'm a cyclist and I like hosting cyclists, they are easy going :)
Please don't send me requests more than a week in advance, I don't plan that far out into the future..

About me
————
I really like travelling by bike. My first cycle holiday was in the Czech Republic some years ago. I was amazed by the amount of freedom I had. Now I just got back in February 2019 from a more challening 3 months of cycling through Patagonia by myself.

When I’m not travelling, I work in bioinformatics projects. I also started a podcast which you can check out at: http://20angles.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This platform gives exposure to people and ideas I’d otherwise never come in contact with. Secondly helping people is one of the easiest ways towards happiness.
