I spend as much time as possible outside; mostly backpacking, kayaking and hiking. I used to travel full time for work and since then I travel for fun as much as possible. I’m always looking for a new adventure to push myself and expand my comfort zone. I’ve traveled a large part of the world. I like the idea of hosting to pay back for all the wonderful places I have visited and stayed.
