I’m Richard Vader, a digital marketing consultant with web technology skills and tech-certified Divemaster. I like to explore life, the underwater world, success teams and entrepreneurship.

I’m fascinated by the art of living a charged life in a chaotic world. At Radical Jump I’m researching how to perform at higher levels of joy, engagement, and productivity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

An adventurous nomadic life of business and pleasure took me to 24 countries. Through Couchsurfing I met amazing people to share spaces, places and experiences.

Interests

Exploring the world, new cultures and meeting interesting people. When I have some time left I like reading, scuba-diving, camping, rock-climbing, and web-surfing.
