CURRENT MISSION

After travelling constantly for over five years I still don´t see how I will ever stop. As always im looking for new interactions with marine creatures and enjoy the live by the sea. I just crossed the Atlantic on a sailing catamaran and stock up my travel valet while working as a Divemaster in the Caribbean.

ABOUT ME

My greatest passions are diving and travelling and everything that has to do with the ocean. There's nothing in the world that makes me happier than a special encounter under water with a creature of the deep.
I have been lucky enough to travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world already, but it just makes me to want to see more. If people ask me for my plans for the future I can only tell them that Im going to work in the Carribbean another couple of months. Until I feel that itching in the little toe again that tells me that its time to move on to another wonderful place in the world...
PHILOSOPHY

as Oscar Wilde said: To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve been very lucky so far as a guest and met some amazing people. I hope this will continue. Coming to Mexico I got to Stay with Grecia Galindo that introduced me to all her friends and family and helped me out with everything I needed to settle down in La Paz for a while. Since Im gonna be here for a while and its the first time in a very long time that I stay in one place I want to try myself as a couchsurfing host for once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Straight out of my mind it would be: every time I swam with dolphins or seals I thought myself to be the luckiest and happiest person in the world, riding a beautiful horse around the pyramids or through the Mongolian steppes, living in a diving school for six months, riding a camel in the Sahara desert, Diving with 50 Sharks at a time in Fiji, Kissing wild gray whales in Mexico, Getting hugged by a Manatee in Florida, Celebrating my birthday with a cuban Family..
