About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going guy, always been passionate about traveling and discovering new places, I enjoy music, learning new cultures, cooking, and many more things.

PHILOSOPHY

My belief is simple: help those in need without expecting anything in return. I prefer not to pass judgment before I've met someone – after all, we all deserve the benefit of the doubt. My relentless pursuit of happiness has led me to a nomadic life, as I was bitten by the travel bug from a very young age.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing simply because I'm driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world and a deep desire to connect with its people. The journey is an opportunity to learn, share stories, and make heartfelt connections with fellow adventurers.

I'm grateful for the chance to be part of a global community of open-hearted individuals, and I hope that through Couchsurfing, I can offer a warm and welcoming space to fellow travelers. This platform has genuinely enriched my life, and I look forward to every opportunity it brings for humble, authentic, and meaningful interactions

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always happy to share what I know, this could be in design, languages, history. But I am always willing to learn new things, and improve my knowledge of what I already know.

Most of all I am interested in languages and inovative design, and I have recently discovered a big passion for cooking and love cooking with others and learning from them and their techniques :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I recently ended a 10 year career as a chef, that was on and off through travelling, as much as I loved it, I found it hard to keep up with my own health (mostly mental health, but physical was getting challenging also)
And write now I have re-kickstarted a small web design business, but I miss cooking for and with others so much, so hopefully I could have the pleasure to cook with my hosts. (I promise I will do the washing up also ;)

Apart from that I love to be able to discover the local area with my hosts and possibly if they get to show me some of their favourite places it would be a pleasure to invite them out or to discover somewhere completely new together.
