Hello world :)

My name is Jeremy. I'm 25 years old and I want to live life to the fullest.

I have no idea how to live life properly and I don’t feel well being stuck in a destructive work cycle.
I'm vegan for environmental and ethical reasons and I stopped drinking alcohol in 2023.
I love making videos, photos and songs and spreading kindness. You can find some short form videos on my Instagram @jeremy.ude if you're curious.
Generally I am an incredibly spontaneous, adventurous but at times shy person who loves crazy ideas and testing out my own limits. I have two piercings in my nose but I swear I’m harmless :D
I’m more of a game night and telling stories around the fire type of guy and not too crazy about clubbing and going out, but I almost always say “Yes” to any spontaneous adventure. Ask me if I would join you on a hitchhiking trip to Vietnam next week and chances are I’d drop everything to come along.
I am mostly hetero, but LGBTQ+ ally and welcoming to all genders and sexual orientations, as well as all religions.
Let's all live in peace and make the world a better place with a little more humanity.

"Life isn't about avoiding the bruises. It's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it" - Casey Neistat

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling around the world on a budget and I love meeting strangers who might eventually become friends. Hearing their travel stories, sharing meals, opening up to someone you just met... That's what makes Couchsurfing so magical to me.

Interests

I love being creative, but being stuck in a daily routine consisting of work and sleep, it can be very hard for me to find time for these things 😔 I've rediscovered reading books during the pandemic and I'd recommend it to everyone :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new facts and skills. I could tell you a little about photography or making videos and go on a photoshoot with you. I always say “Life is my university” and I love throwing myself into unfamiliar situations to learn and overcome challenges.
