About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taste life, it's delicious

ABOUT ME

I tend to approach new people on a smooth, vibrant and socially assertive way. People I do not know are just "friends" I haven't met yet. I can be quite talkative to others, depending on the duration of our relation and the level of mutual interests detectable. I am often extroverted, quite enterprising and sometimes impulsive.
-I am very optimistic by nature.
-I am decisive and I dare to take risks.
-Sometimes I'm considered quite direct by others.
-I can be very convincing.
-I am sociable and affectionate company for almost everyone I meet.
-I love to help others.
-I love to express my ideas and opinions openly.

PHILOSOPHY

People get what they deserve. If you can imagine it, you can do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always book last minute city trips and visits to friends across the globe. So not much surfing experience due to reaction time.

Interests

My life consists of social gatherings and chasing business opportunities, I am being hired for all kinds of business challenges from a customer experience perspective. Travelling is my religion and meeting new people enriches me. I love people, cooking and - even more - eating, surprise me with new kinds of music and/or single malt whisky's, fine wine or even better: good beer.
I like photography, dancing and off-road biking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blow me away, open to cultural novelties! I love techno, oldies, classic, rock, hiphop. I watch preferably true stories when it comes to movies, the way in which you can relate to the characters. I don't read enough books to brag about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love to travel without a set plan, I fancy being influenced by others when it comes to finding a purpose in a travel. Meeting people and learning to appreciate their culture & food is worth more for me than taking pictures of monuments.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't focus on capital cities, they're all similar.
