About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to live, to be healthy

ABOUT ME

I try to stay grounded and listen well. Sharing is caring. I love the outdoors (which are great in Namibia) I love sports, music, good food, litres of coffee and deep conversations...

PHILOSOPHY

"Care for the earth and its creatures and the favour will be returned, I guess..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly host, but surfed some couches here and there...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far: Always inspiring, motivating, and creating wanderlust... It is such a nice concept of giving and receiving, not only about finding or offering a place to stay, but about meeting new humans and their cultures...

Interests

Gardening and permaculture, research based conservation, archery, running, volleyball, hunting, fishing, making some music (guitar and bass), making a noise (drums ;)), being in touch with nature and taking photos of everything I might encounter...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working as research assistant capturing leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and collaring these, monitoring their movements via aerial tracking, seeing them in their natural environments on Namibian farms, the list goes on...

Teach, Learn, Share
