I'm on a trip around the world with my wife during the whole year of 2017. We decided to leave behind everything we knew to go in search of the new: new places, new friends, new experiences. We want to live the present and enjoy every moment of our journey on Earth. Since January we've been to New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Nepal, Russia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Slovenia, Hungary and Slovakia. We still have 3 months traveling by Europe and before going back home, we will do a last stop in South Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once I read a sentence that perfectly explain my passion for traveling: "It is about opening up new life opportunities, making new friends, experiencing other cultures and broadening our horizons."
