Hi! I'm an active, outdoors guy, I love camping and traveling. I can't decide if I like being by the ocean or the mountains more, so I try to spend some time in both places. I like surfing, swimming, freediving, climbing, cycling, yoga and happy to try anything!

I've had lots of different jobs but I'm currently working for a sailing charity, teaching children to sail on an old wooden boat.

I'm very relaxed, open minded and friendly, I always like to learn about people and different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the people you meet that makes traveling memorable I think. Couchsurfing is a great way to make new friends and get a local's view of places.
