About Me

Hey everyone,

Back on here after a bit of a break. Now living in Köln / Cologne and able to accept guests.

I travel a lot for work so cannot guarantee I will be around. Otherwise I am always happy to show people around, meet up for a coffee or a beer. So if you are in the area let me know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted a lot of people while I was living in Romania until December 2012. I hosted loads of really interesting people during my time in Brasov and heard some really great stories. We always had a great time and I can't think of 1 bad experience I had.

I also enoy going to CS meets and any events that are going on nearby, time permitting.

Interests

Hiking, cycling, running, anything outdoors.

Getting away from the touristy cities/areas to see the real side of a country. The best places I've visited have always been places I had never heard of before I got there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving - the most terrifying things I have done, but the adrenaline rush is worth it. Plus the great views you get from up there are amazing. Unfortunately a too expensive hobby to keep up.

Moving to Romania based on a 5 minute Skype interview was probably the best decision I ever made.
