About Me

I have pretty much been traveling for the past 5 years as part of my job... I work as a crew member on privately owned luxury mega yachts! Sounds a lot more glamorous than it is!
Seeing that I mostly experience all the places I get to travel to from a professional side, I relish the opportunity to get away and cruise the vagabond trail! Being immersed in any situation is what it's all about! I'm pretty shy, so enjoy traveling alone, 'cause it forces me to get into strange, awkward and ultimately wonderfully gratifying social situations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just had a great month in Colorado couchsurfing... Time to return the favour!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing sunsets and sunrises in the middle of the Atlantic ocean... Unimagineable beauty
