About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world and culture as I can.

ABOUT ME

I am heading to East Europe mid June. Have had some amazing experiences in my years of travel including: being kidnapped in Paraguay, Hangliding in Venezuela, Swimming with the piranhas, Spriritul enlightenment in Peru, Living in the Amazon jungle, Working on a spanish island making cheese and wine, Climing the Andes, Visiting famous prisoners in Bolivian jail, Riding the trains all around India, Standing on the Equator.... And more to come.

PHILOSOPHY

Who and where we are now is a direct result of the descisions we made in the past.
Who and where we are going will be a result of descisions we make now.

I live my life for today with a bit of planning for the future.
Health and love is first on my lists, Work is so far down that it fell off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to offer travellers a place to crash and recharge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
