About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning spanish.

ABOUT ME

a happy traveler looking for excitement. enjoying concerts, festivals, citytrips and longer trips.. since this year im also frequently hitchhiking, as awesome as it is :D

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself and go for it. Don't stop. I think the words carpe diem have lost their power by over-using it, but it's definetly a great thought.. It's like if you enjoy every day and you make yourself useful and do awesome stuff, it is going to be really hard to have a suckish life right?

i also like the slogan of Nike. I never wear Nikes or something like that, but the slogan 'Do It', is amazing. it's like, do what feels right and pops in your head,as long it doesn't do anyone any harm and other people can enjoy it too.

Besides that, i believe in travellers luck. especially for those who are travelling without complete detailled plans. So many random cool events happens to you when you let things roll as how they meant to be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got nice couches which are available for everyone who is cool. I don't have a lot of experience with Couchsurfing, but the experiences that I have are great!

Interests

I like music, travelling, meeting awesome people and do random stuff which is awesome. Awesome might be the best english word in the world. because awesome is.. awesome. Yes.
