CURRENT MISSION

I’m in Colorado for the next 2 weeks, travelling with a good friend from Australia. We are hoping to ride and explore as many of the locations on the Vail Epic Pass while in Colorado (Vail, Brecken, Keystone, Crested Butte etc...)

Would love to meet and ride with some locals while here! We have just finished an amazing tour of the Canadian rockies and would be delighted to share some stories, cook you dinner and teach you some Australian ;)

ABOUT ME

I used to be able to do maths. Now I'm just an electrical engineer. I love surfing, climbing and snowboarding... I'm a proud uncle. I try to keep fit and healthy but I love to party and eat nasty when i can justify it! When I travel I walk a lot... imagining who and where I would be in any new city.

I'm straight but absolutely LGBT friendly. Also 420 friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Live like an old man who got to be young again...

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I have had some amazing experiences with some amazing couch surfers... riding bicycles under the Eiffel tower at 3am, sailing on the Mediterranean, camping and swimming in the wild french mountains... and best of all, meeting like minded people

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I spent 3 months traveling and snowboarding in Japan and 5 months in the French Alps, 3 months in the American rockies... Living in the snow is something I love and would do again.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am somewhat motivated about learning how to paraglide, play piano, sail, bake french pastries, make the best coffee, speak russian and train wild horses

I can teach you how to wink, use chopsticks, drink tea, dance awkwardly in the gap that opens up on the dancefloor and write grammatically, correct, sentences.

I really really really love science... so I'll probably point out some science-y fact but then google it to check that I'm right

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'll cook for you, roll your joint and pour your beer before you can can say potato.
