About Me

High-school graduate on a gap year, currently traveling around Europe. Interested in science and health. Sport enthusiast (CrossFit, fitness, swimming, skiing). I've visited more than 20 countries throughout the world, but I'm never settling down, as I still want to travel. I am very open-minded and love interesting discussions on any topic!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and discuss cultural differences. Especially when it comes to doing that with natives, the best discussions happen! I also believe that the most charming destinations are not contained in the tourist areas, but rather in the hidden outskirts, only known to the inhabitants. It's my hobby to gather knowledge about destinations from the most knowledgable people on the topic, and I think the best opportunity to do that, is with the natives. I'm very open minded to socialising and exploring new destinations with a company!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Invented a new method for skeletal age estimation! It's a computer program that can help archaeologists and forensic scientists identify human remains. You can read more about it here:
