About Me

I am a surfer who is terribly misplaced and I often get mistaken for an Australian (if only it were true!)

Apparently I am good at making risotto, amongst other things.

Love to sing and play guitar/ukelele, but I take ages to write a song.

Often hear I have too many hobbies, I am really into sports. Currently do fitness, freediving to some extent, surfing, yoga and acroyoga! Also I do BMX freestyle but with trips planned I tend to put this on the backburner to avoid any risks of injury.

Love traveling, obviously, and try to do as much of it as I can, so far this is working out pretty well!

Oh yeah I am an industrial design student at Eindhoven University of Technology! (Currently looking for an internship abroad so if you have any leads for me please share, I'd be very thankful!)

I enjoy a good cup of coffee! Normally just a black cup of coffee, but I also enjoy a flat white (Get why people think I am Australian? (It is probably just the hair though))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This Saturday my stay in Mimizan for acquiring my ISA surfinstructor licence and lifeguard certificates starts. However I already arrive in Bordeaux a day earlier (friday 27th of April) and I am looking for a place to spend the night before I get a pickup the next day to Mimizan!

I believe couchsurfing would be way more fun than to just spend a night in a bed and breakfast, as I enjoy meeting new people a great deal.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really out of any movie, chasing Mavericks all day!
I hav a very broad taste in music but my favorite song is Sunshine & Kool-Aid by Josh Taylor, just give me some sweet summer vibes. Jack Johnson is also gold!

The book I have read most recently that I liked most is an English translation of the Odyssey, whilst still maintaining some of the charecteristics ofLatin, yes I can be kind of a nerd too haha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfed waves close to 4 meters high!... But I want to go bigger, really if you want to talk to me about this I can go on forever!

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar/ukelele, English, cooking, (surfing?), woodworking, acroyoga (basics, I am a beginner as well)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unbelievable amounts of surfstoke, like to do sports with you, teach you to play guitar (preferably around a campfire). We can practice English, or just go for a nice stroll. Really I am up for anything!
Love to cook so that could also be something if that gets you going, love goes through the stomach right?
