ABOUT ME

I used to be a freelance programmer and webdesigner. I quit my job, grabbed my backpack and started walking for 1600km from the Pyrenees to Lisbon along the Camino de Santiago (Spanish and Portuguese routes).

Now I am a professional (as in "with sponsors that offered me gear") and I want to continue my trip towards East, this time with a bicycle, to learn about Mediterranean food.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a stoic

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to meet people living on the Mediterranean coast and learn about the local food culture, couchsurfing seems to be one of the best ways to do this.
