CURRENT MISSION

FREE House/Couch-concerts!

ABOUT ME

My name's Aart and I am a 45-year old 'Global Soul' having lived in Chile, Australia, England and France before my arrival in the Netherlands in 2001.

PHILOSOPHY

'Just listen to your heart/
your heartbeat/
your heart beats/
your heartstrings/
your heart sings/
your heartbeat.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

FREE House/'couch-concerts':

My name's Aart, I'm a solo musician and I've just started my 'World House Concert Tour'. During my tour, I'll be travelling to and around all the countries I've been fortunate enough to call 'home' in my life – the Netherlands (2015), UK (2015), France (2015-16), Australia (2016) and Chile (2017) - and many stops in other countries.

I'll be able to sleep the night at the houses where I already have concerts scheduled. But I'll need other places to stay for a couple of nights. Would you be willing to receive me?

I could also give you/your friends a 'couch-concert' while I'm at your house if you like, by way of thanks! If you're interested, check out my promo video (made during a concert at my friends' house in Stockholm): https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155380369295696&id=743970695&ref=bookmark

Hope to hear from you and that it’s possible to sleep on your couch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My whole life has been amazing..one big journey and every new country that I lived in felt like a new life and has culminated in the feeling that I have become a 'Global Soul'

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my travelling experiences and my music with people.

I'd like to help people with their English (I'm an English teacher and native speaker), Spanish (I was born in Chile and subsequently lived there for 7 years before moving to the Netherlands) and French (I studied French at university and lived there for 1 year).

I look forward to learning from others - I'm always open to new insights and interesting discussions, particularly regarding life, spirituality, music, languages, culture...but anything really :)
