About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy going, love having a laugh and meeting new people.

I'm really interested in philosophy, personal development l, sport, travel and food.

I like to push the status quo, to follow my heart no matter what, and do lots of things that make me feel uncomfortable so that I can grow to be a better person.

I am the author of The Wellbeing Revolution.
I want to fully give myself to the world, to fulfill my highest potential and give my greatest self to others.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love, love what you do. Discover who your truly are (beyond what you think others want you to be), fulfill your deepest inner drive.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in the USA and Europe and absolutely loved it. I almost struggle to comprehend just how generous the people involved with couchsurfing are. I feel so lucky to have met so many amazing hosts and surfers.

I've hosted couchsurfers from Germany, USA and Ireland and found them all to be great experiences.
