One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Held a 100 year old wild tuatara on an offshore wildlife sanctuary.

Released a wandering albatross back into the wild after rehabilitation.

Caught the first snake I ever saw - a 2ft Pacific Boa in Fiji 2012. And the second snake I ever saw a 9ft Carpet Python in Australia, 2013. And the 9th snake I ever saw - another 9ft Python in Ausi in 2018.

Hitched Bangkok to Chang Mai and all around the north of Thailand with my girl, 2016.

Hitched Kopenhagen to Bremen through the night with my girl, 2017.

Photographed Adders in the wild in Scotland 2019.

Stayed three weeks on Bornholm (an Island between Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, with my girl 2019.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has a story, every one has something to teach. We am happy to share guitar skills or help you learn to defend yourself. We both LOVE giving massages and are very good at it, if you want a massage from either or both of us don't be shy! Just ask ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We love to play guitar if there is one handy or we may have one with us. We love to cook for you. We don't like to only stay one night. We like to hang out with hosts for a few days/nights and get to know them and their lifestyle and get involved with anything that is going on :D
