Yay! I want to receive only personal requests! I am mostly on the road with my soul- and travelmate 'Matthijs Bood'. For CS we use mostly his profile. Check it out: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/boatontheroad .

For me, CS is about getting to know people and their stories much more then saving money so tell me why you want to surf at my place!

CURRENT MISSION
If you meet someone without a smile, give him one of yours

ABOUT ME & PHILOSOPHY
"Isn't it extraordinary to be in the world right now, to wander (wonder!) around in this life adventure?"

I'm a person that enjoys the moment extremely. I try to walk the pathway of my heart, which means that I sometimes do totally unexpected and spontaneous things. I'm very curious! Life is a miracle, so take the wonderful things that are coming along your path and give away some of your happiness and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the CS vision of having and being guests and to feel at home whereas money does not matter in this idea.

I like to meet people that live in the country ı want to visit. They can tell me much more about the country or place than any travel guide. In addition, couchsurfing is a bit like hitchhiking: you trust a person and have conversations with someone you might never have met otherwise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've discovered lately with a simply wonderful friend to take "mind pictures" of moments I want to remember.
So yeah, i've got a few of them already collected. Just ask me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Not long ago I saw somewhere in Berlin a text saying "The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind"
I'd like to host people that live the philosophy of sharing in daily life. I'm sure you know how you can contribute to this philosophy: you like to cook? Show me your speciality. You like to do yoga? Nice, we can do it together! You like to dance salsa, tell jokes or your vision of the world, going for dumpster diving, know how to learn- teach-show me your favourite talent? Awesome! :-)

Me on the other hand will show you how meditative knitting is. Or ı will read you a story. Or i will surprise you.

So, think of any contribution to the "sharing without money idea". Then ı will heartly welcome you :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Feel at home where lots of people live together.
