About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun on my second NZ trip!

ABOUT ME

I'm a verry honest and open minded person. I'm usually bit shy at first, but once I get to know someone I really open up.

I love hiking/climbing, it sets your head straight and pulls your body back to balance.

I love a deep conversations about the greater things in life, about the way people see and feel the world. But I can also talk about the normal stuff in life.
I love drawing with a childish spontaineously
I love the right music at the right time, the moment when music falls together with your state of mind.

I'm mostly veggetarian, but sometimes eat fish and meat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I live with two other people that dont like the idea of having couch surfers around i'm not able to let people stay at my place. I'm hoping that trough some great experiences i'll have with couch surfers i'll be able to convince them to let other people stay with us. Although our house is way to small already :)

I want to keep on donating, so that this site can stay online.

I also want to go to local meetings if possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had so many great experiences on my last trip to New Zealand, to many to write down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach people how to draw. I especially like drawing together or for children, their imagination has no boundaries!

I also love wall climbing, would be great if i could surf on a climbers couch.

I would love to learn more about nature in it's whole, plants, farming, ecosystems...
