About Me

Came back last year after a year of travelling and now back to work to save for my next adventure. Started hosting people to keep the travelling vibe alive and to keep meeting new and interesting people. If you want to stay at my place keep the following things in mind ;). Be a good surfer and bring something from home or something small just to show you made an effort. I am not offering a free hotel room so if you are only going to hang around with your friends and just need a free place to stay dont bother. I always try to be the best host i can be so at least make an effort to be a good surfer too. If I have time i will provide you with breakfast and the occassional dinner. If you come from a country i have not been to or have an interesting story to tell the chance is higher i might acceot your request. People that have done good for others are also very much appreciated. Aside from this I get so many requests that I have no time to answer everyone personally. I usually only accept one person every month so dont take it personal if i decline without a reason, It just means i did not have any time or simply had too many people over already. And if you did not take the effort to read this dont expect a reply :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I want to meet new people and experience more of a city than that is written in the lonely planet or on Tripadvisor. Locals know the best spots so why not stay with one is what went through my head. So here i am.. new experiences is why i travel and will probably enjoy this one as well :)

Interests

Generally i like to be around other people, friends or family is what i spend most of my time with back home. Sharing experieces makes things more special. Aside from that i am pretty passionate about anything motorized and on two wheels. Been driving motorcycles for years now and it never gets boring to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh thats a hard one.. regarding music i am a bit all over the place, no certain style just a wide range of artists i enjoy but usually as long as it is not too extreme. My top ten movies contain a few Brazilian ones, just love their style and the lack of happy hollywood style endings. Dont read many books unless it is for educational purposes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a motorcycle in Hanoi and drove around Vietnam and Cambodia for 4 months.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, food, beers or a bottle of wine.
