About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore Europe on bike and embark on new experiences. Share and celebrate life. Put myself in challenging unfamiliar situations.

ABOUT ME

I believe life is what you make of it. I am exploring the idea more and more in practice.. being open to new experiences and allowing identity to be free enough to go along with it and not be held back by titles or defined limits. It is beautitful what is seen... i am also very stulated by intellectual converstaions (science, cymatics, philosophy, religion...) you name it - i am passionate about it but i believe it is important to never take it too seriously. We inform the society we live in by how we think about and how we interact.

PHILOSOPHY

You must look for the good in people to have more of it appear.

€œLive as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.€ -- Gandh

After letting go of everything you find yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have realized that it is far of a richer experience to travel with less as to experience more. It can give you the opportunity to meet local people and experience the real culture in the places you travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness"

In the summer of 2012 I took a trip by myself and back-packed through Europe for 2 months. It was really an amazing experience. It was fun, challenging, and a broadening experience. I met new friends, experienced different cultures and world views, and expanded my personal frame of reference.
NOW 4 YEARS LATER IM BACK!

I first experienced couchsurfing after Moving to Montreal from Vancouver 5 years ago. I arrived here, knowing almost no-one and stayed a week with a group of people in Hochlega. It was an amazing experience and it stuck with me since.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

backpacked through Europe. Skinny-dipped in the Baltic sea in the middle of the night. Was a zombie in a music video! Played sling-shot paint ball in an abandoned building! Climbed the glaciers of Mount Baker. Hitch-hiked across BC to Shambala. Jumped in a freezing lake on Christmas eve.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that often there is something meaningful in every experience.

I am fascinated by people. I often feel like a lone observer but I can feel the power when two people connect. Two people can move mountains.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversation, music jam sessions, tours of the city I'm living in, inside look to arts and cultu, underground music scene, home cooked food..
