I'm an easy-going guy that lets things happen in life and also makes them happen.

Doing things I would regret not doing.

Also I've been mostly travelling for the last 4-ish years - I want to see as much as I can before everything that's been happening in the world gets even worse :D

As you can see I'm also a huge optimist!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's an amazing way to travel, meet new people, broaden horizons and experience things from a different point of view!

Interests

I like a lot of different stuff - I am interested in just about anything that comes by, and very open to learning about anything.

I really love hiking and the mountains, and if I find myself somewhere where I can then I go out dancing salsa & bachata as much as possible.

I used to run a lot but I was extremely spoiled as to places where I chose to live so I mostly refuse to run unless I can run on a beach :D which is better for not messing up my knees anyway.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a huge variety of music! Super eclectic and most of it not contemporary

I listen to a lot of salsa (mostly Colombian), and a lot of rock & punk from all over the world. Too many bands to list, really!

I don't watch a lot of movies, but my favourites would have to be Chungking Express, Truman Show, and a really good one I saw recently was The Sound of Metal.

My favorite book of all time is Hopscotch (Rayuela) by Cortazar, followed closely by The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. I read a lot of Latin American literature in general, since I took two semesters of class about that in university and then I couldn't stop reading more, apparently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on the 2016 Mongol Rally in a '99 Fiat Panda, which only made it to Turkmenistan - but I travelled on, through Central Asia. Seen a lot of amazing stuff, like the famous Gate to Hell in Turkmenistan...

In many ways that trip changed my life completely, and is probably still the coolest thing I've ever done.

I went paragliding in Oludeniz (in Turkey) in early 2024 and that was pretty cool too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help you practice either of the languages I speak or am learning.

Besides that I don't really have any sage knowledge to share yet
