About Me

Humble, calm and social It's three characteristics that characterize me.
I love meeting new people. There is nothing more fascinating than getting to know how other people think, for everyone we have our own history and life experiences.Travel is a big part of mine and I have had the opportunity to see lots of different parts of the world and have traveled around the world.
I love adventure and challenges and I'm not afraid to try it out. Diving, bungee jumping and hiking is something I really like.
But the world offers so much more and I have more and see. You can not see everything at the same time and it's hard to choose your destinations so you can choose in stages.I have a chef like most of my cooking is something I really enjoy. Then the student has worked in a variety of cuisines such as kitchen kitchens and smaller neighborhood hooks for seasonal and fine dining. Overall, I have worked as a cook "nonstop" for ten years. It has given me a lot but I now feel it's time to learn more about the industry at large and not just in the restaurant. Therefore, I want to deepen and work more in trade outside the restaurants, so how you wholesalers work.
Environment and ethics have become a big part of my life after my big trip and want to know where everything comes from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in the couch surfing because I think it's so fun to meet people. Since there are also people who have a connection to the country or city in which you are located, it's all the better. Love the thing to be able to help each other and exchange stories and experiences about one's different lives as we live. You always learn something new and get an idea that the world is so different and we live in such different ways.
You know how wonderful it is when someone offers something to someone who does not have to stand alone, either a sofa or a voice.
You create so many new friendships and contacts that are so worth later in life

Interests

As I wrote earlier, cooking is a great interest that I like to share with. Making food with someone is always funeral to prepare for yourself.
Otherwise, traveling is a lot of interest and I would like to discover new countries all the time. However, I have been very busy exploring South America, as I am warmly at heart after my trip there.
Diving is something I'm looking for if there is any possibility and that's good water.
I watch a lot of football and try to follow as much as possible. Manchester United is my favorite team.
Hiking and outdoor camping I greatly appreciate. The wilderness is very fascinating and cozy in some way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the absolutely coolest things I've done is I got the opportunity to do a backpacker trip in South America. It's a continent that I was always interested in and curious about.
Were bused all the way from Colombia down to Brazil via Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.
But I will return and explore more, especially Uruguay.
I learned to dance salsa in Colombia and saw Machu Picchu in Peru
