Outgoing and sociable, fun loving and open-minded. Easily get along with anyone. Love to organise trips with a group of friends and allow all of us to visit exotic places or have special experiences that none of us would have gotten to experience otherwise. Did so for trips with friends to Bhutan, North Korea, Tibet as well as live-aboard diving trip to Myanmar and Raja Ampat, West Papua (Indonesia). Sharing such trips with friends makes the memories all the more fond.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals, learn about food and culture, the best spots to visit, insider tips and likewise share such information with people that come to visit.

Interests

Obsessed with traveling and (air) travel, earning and burning miles to visit far-flung places and visiting at least a handful of new countries every year. Travel every single public holiday and many weekends. Want to and will visit every country in the world at some point in my life. Love photographing the places I visit in one way or the other (Sony Alpha 6000 + DJI Mavic Pro).
