Heeey all of you!

A flying Dutchman who has just moved to Granada, Spain

I'm a quite energetic, positive minded person, always in for a laugh! I love love traveling! Being born is a privilege, because life is amazing!

I'm generally a very happy person, really enjoying life in every way. Many people tell me I smile a lot, and it's quite difficult to get me stressed. I try not to think too much and live in the now.

While exploring the world I'll always try to find something different: talking to local people about their culture, enjoy remote spots of this beautiful world! I kinda dislike the really touristy spots, because it's just not my way to explore a culture. For me its all about meeting people, people and people!

I'm a very expressive person, trying not to hide anything. I can be open about anything, you just need to ask the right questions;) I can be very honest and direct, just tell me if its too much haha!

I'm really into sports, always active and really an outdoor person. At home it's tennis, mountainbiking and indoor climbing. Every year we go skiing with a big group of friends and family, great times! When traveling I love climbing peaks, trekking (especially in the mountains) and again mountainbiking. I love speed, I'm quite a speed junkie. I should never buy a motorbike, it would kill me! Beaches are nice if there are activities around, otherwise I'll get bored after a few hours.

I love dancing, parties and a beer or two. I cannot stand still when there's good music! I can party all night long and be quite surprised if the lights turn on at 6 am. Are we done already...
I think I'm really easygoing, flexible, kind and in for good conversations! I studied philosophy and physics, finished my bachelor of the first. I love going in deep conversations about anything, especially religion and life in general! Well enough about me now. If you wanna meet, let me know!

I love travelling! I've travelled more than 3,5 years, visited 80 countries and hitchhiked over 40.000 kms.
I love life and can't stop smiling!

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life fully!!!

Don't worry, be happy!

Enjoy life as long as you can, because it is short!

Live now and let every minute count!

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail!

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually be afraid you will make one! - Elbert Hubbard

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value! - Albert Einstein

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

The most important part for me is meeting local people, cs is perfect for that! I will always try to really get to know a person, so only a place to sleep is not how it works for me...
I've surfed about a 200 times, mostly very positive experiences

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted about 30 people and surfed over 200 times. Met up with many people, hosted events, gone to events

Интересы

Meeting new interesting people, play sports (whatever ballgame it is), go stargazing, hike to a mountain peak, dance all night long, watch and listen to live (rock) music, get to know the unknown (different cultures, different countries)...
I'm not sure how I can ever get bored with traveling, its my biggest passion and this won't change soon!

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us!

Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again...
