About Me

Every holiday needs to be completely different: I always go somewhere new and try new ways of travelling. I'm keen to learn anything. I don't want to be an expert in something specific, I'd rather get to know everything. Curious, adventurous, studious, sporty, hardworking are a few adjectives of which I think that they describe me quite well. As is clear from this description I am not person that enjoys lazy beach holidays, but chooses the adventurous path of living. With that motto I went on an exchange to New Zealand and (soon) Austria, both for a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is an easier way to get to know locals and finding an accomodation than going from door to door. My brother and I often go on big cycling trips and use Couchsurfing to find our overnight stays.

Interests

I like sports in general: all my holidays are sports-based e.g. mountain hiking in Austria, cycling to the south of France, kayaking in Slovenia...
