About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help people out, travel and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

Travel is one of my favorite activities in life. I try to take one big trip a year. And for the rest of year I explore areas closer to home.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is always changing. So I am flexible with the change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to one couch surfing event in Austria, met a fun couple in Slovakia and been to some couch surfing events in San Diego.

Interests

Many different outdoor activities. Especially hiking, walking, orienteering, skiing, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming and rollerblading. I've also done some canyoning, zip lining, caving and river rafting.

I also enjoy photography.
