I am someone who is always looking for a way to challenge myself. I am currently doing this by embarking on a journey in the Netherlands where I am writing my master thesis. Apart from that, much of my time goes to exercising since I train and compete in running -- next goal is Amsterdam Marathon in October -- but I also do biking and about to start swimming.

People who know me would tell you that I am a kind and social guy who is always up for adventures and a coffee, especially the latter. I simply love hanging at a cafe with someone drinking a doppio -- double espresso.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and contribute to a more social society.

Interests

One large interest I have is endurance sport and then mostly running. I do an average of 70K per week and compete multiple times per year. I can go on taking about that for hours.

My other interest is coffee. I wish to enjoy every single cup I drink and, therefore, usually hang around at cafes or small roasteries.

I also have a sourdough culture since two years now, so when I am in Sweden I bake bread every Sunday which is something my friends love since I usually give away half of the loafs I make.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spontaneously bought a caravan with some friends which we now have renovated and travel around with every summer. This year we even installed customized LED-strips to make it even fancier!
