Having finished my studies in Edinburgh, Scotland and tried the taste of working life I (along with my partner Kristina) embarked on a journey around the world. We plan to see 30+ counties in 5 different continents.

I consider myself a friendly and trustworthy person with interests in water sports especially scuba diving and surfing. I also practiced
Judo for 10 years.

I am also passionate about the world of finance and investing. Feel free to ask me to explain you the basics if you ever meet me and are interested to learn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is there a better way to learn about a new place than talk, eat, go out and live with the locals?

Couchsurfing is an invaluable tool for me because of the extensive traveling I am doing at the moment.

Interests

I am passionate about water sports especially scuba diving and surfing. I did quite a lot of diving (in Phillipines, Greece, Croatia, Egypt, Sri Lanka), but am still working on my knowledge and skills. I hope that by the end of 2019 I will complete my divemaster certificate with PADI.

I am still a newbie in the world of surfing, but I am now learning how to ride unbroken waves. I can't wait to be able to surf properly. I know it will take some time to learn though!

When I am not in the water, I really enjoy reading about what is going on in the world and in particular about finance and economics. I have been investing in stocks and investment funds for more than 3 years now.

I also run a blog with my partner Kristina where we document our travels. It's https://www.katrippin.com
