I'm on my way home, trying to get from Australia to Germany over land/water, actively denying the fact that I should get a real job and integrate into society. Before, this, I lived in San Diego for the past two years, where I barely learned surfing, and explored the beautiful US southwest and Mexico.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
One time I was on my way from Amsterdam to Curacao for a four week trip. The night before the flight, I had accidentally left my luggage on a Dutch train and was the unable to get it back before the early morning flight. I was very light traveling for the next four weeks.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to juggle. Can you teach me how to dance? I like sharing a meal. Cooking together and talking while sipping wine is a great way to get to know people.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My best efforts to make sense of life, the universe and everything. My subjective reality, during a chat, possibly involving drinks...
My Interests
When traveling, I am interested in the people that I meet, their relationship to the place that I am visiting and the little (sometimes hard to see) things that can make a place unique.
