Hello world :)

My name is Jeremy. I'm 26 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 vegetarian 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 and more stupid photos of me on my Instagram @jeremy.ude if you're curious.
Generally I am an incredibly spontaneous, adventurous but at times anxious 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 hetero, but LGBTQ+ ally and welcoming to all genders, sexual orientations and religious backgrounds.
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 and getting to know strangers who might eventually become friends. Hearing others' 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.

Myself and my travel stories, a free photoshoot if you want, a fun conversation, playing card games, vegan / vegetarian cooking
