CURRENT MISSION

Getting used to my home country again...

ABOUT ME

I've always got itchy feet. Right now I'm trying to settle in Hamburg for a bit, to focus on some 'career development'. But I can't wait to be on the road again meeting new people in new places. Got Nepal on my mind - journey by Transibirian train - would be a dream coming true.

I do enjoy learning about different cultures, always wondering, why society works as it does and why some people are just so much more lucky than others.

Climate Change is a wake up call for many of us to start connecting again with nature and stop exploiting this precious planet! So overland travel is a great compromise and a wanted adventure in itself!

My hobbies are: listening to and making music, dancing, tree climbing, cooking and eating vegetarian food, cycling, socializing and sometimes just disappearing into different worlds, via book, film or internet...

I'm always up for new things!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens to you, whilst you're busy making other plans...'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is the best way to getting to know a country, because you don't just stay in hostels and meet other tourists, but you really get to find out how people live. So far it's just been AMAZING and I'm really grateful for everybody who has hosted me so far! You have made me feel so welcome and basically created the highlights of my journey!!! Thanks!
