About Me

Cambridge Entrepreneur
- Passionate about Hitchhiking and Couchsurfing
Since I started couch surfing traveling has been so much more interesting and fun! Meeting local people everywhere in the world creates the ultimate adventure for me!
Personally, I am big on crafts and any sport, especially Yoga and the outdoors.
I like meeting new people that are open and friendly. Many people think the world is a dangerous place full of unfriendly people. But, I think the opposite. Couch surfing truly makes the world a better place, promoting peace and harmony between all the different people in the world.
In a new project, building up an old campervan to serve as a mobile home. #vanlife
Giving defines who we are. Hosting has been a great experience for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel should be accessible to everyone, not just those with a big wallet!
More importantly, Couchsurfing has been the best way for me personally to meet local people and learn about different cultures!
As for me:
My travel usually involves little/no planning. That's why I love meeting locals that can tell me the best places to visit!
I like sharing stories with like-minded people!
Important: ¡Couchsurfing is not a dating website!
I am also not interested in smoking, alcohol or any other kind of drugs.

Interests

I like photography and traveling, learning instruments and languages. Trying new things in general, as I am not afraid of failing.
Also: Cycling, Surfing, Snowboarding, Climbing, Reading, Sand Boarding, Wood Carving, Laser Cutting, Night Climbing, Bamboo Flute, Kayaking
