CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, it seems so small, but it´s damn BIG!!

ABOUT ME

Luck-seeker!! Trying to find luck and happiness out of everything by having a positive vision and perspective towards life.

I enjoy other people and love to hear their stories of life, trying to learn from it. When doing this, I like to do it over a nice drink (red wine or nice beer, even a fine whiskey will do) and of course delicious food. To compensate these calories I like to play a lot of sport, that´s why I run marathons, already finished the NY and Moskow marathon. Love it, so I´m always in for some running, wanna join??

Above all, I love my family and friends, they mean everything to me. They need me and I definitly need them, for good times, but also for advice in decision making moments.

PHILOSOPHY

With a positive perspective towards life, you can fulfill your biggest ambitions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Due to my traveling friends, Steve and Sarah, who I met along the way traveling through Central America. They showed me how usefull CS can be for meeting the local people from the region, who can tell you so much more than you could ever read in the Lonely Planet.

And how I would love to show people around in Amsterdam, besides the coffeeshops and the red light district, cuz Amsterdam has SO MUCH MORE to offer. Not to forget the Frisian region of The Netherlands...
