Overview
About Me
Trying to live as simple as possible. Love to be on the road and traveling with my bicycle is an addiction.
I am curious and always looking forward for a new adventure.
I love to record moments of life with my camera. I´m using my camera as a way to express myself and document life.
Love to be in contact with nature and to get to know local people and their heritage.
I am a juggler forever and a juggler of life :)
Colors, sun, sweets, spicy, hats, cooking, bicycle, my camper-van, weird places to sleep, friends, smile and smile :) .... things that can also define me !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since i became a member of cs community I´ve met many big heart people. As i spend some time of my life traveling i try to spread my word about this community to each one that i cross during my road trips/hitchiking/bike trips.
Also hosting and surfing many couches around the world and sharing some unique moments with other couchsurfers!
I started to host quite a lot at the beginning and I also crashed some couches around the world. Now i travel less but i still use cs from time to time.
