About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life's not just work. Trying to enjoy it a little!

PHILOSOPHY

Take things as they come and appreciate the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some years ago I was very much into CS, by hosting a lot and going to CS meetings. Then life happened, I started my photography career and settled. Now trying to be a part of the CS community by attending meetings and travelling a little bit. Not able to host as I have a toddler and very busy life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mostly hosted for a few years, surfed a little bit, been to many meetings and some activities. Loved it always!

Interests

On the social side I like to meet people, have an interesting conversation over a bottle of wine.
Besides that I like to ride my bicycle and motorbike, travel (of course!), photography and drawing, several sports, scuba diving

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled with my motorbike from Scotland to Portugal through the Alps. A total of 6000kms, 12 countries in 13 days.

Diving in Sipadan - it was my first dive after I took my open water, it was down to 30m and in one of the most beautiful diving places in the world, scary and breathtaking at the same time.
