CURRENT MISSION

Trying to face the world with a smile, what sounds rather poetic but somehow I mean it that way. :)

ABOUT ME

Well, I am the person I am, and for the most I like it that way. Try to be open as much as possible, but you know, everybody has his days sometimes, that makes us a person.
I prefer not to think in boxes, meaning judging people by any kind of thing without knowing them, maybe you could call that open-minded, but that sounds so "wannabe" to me... One is never free of prejudices, right? But be aware of them, and overcome them as much as possible. Take a step back... See
Well, for this site, I like to get in touch with new people, so let's see!
For the rest, yeah, I like going out and drinking. So as much as possible (also moneywise, haha) I will go out with you and show you some of Amsterdams nightlife/bars/private parties/drinks/anywhere. Other crap of course as well but still, be warned, I tend to drink a lot, haha. Not into tea, if you get me ;-)
I will try to show you as much of this lovely city as I can, though I also am a lot at my work.

PHILOSOPHY

... is very important. It gives you the space to think. Without need to do them in reality. Or even when this isn't possible. It broadens your mind! So think

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and want to show people this adoreable city, preferably off the broad pathes, off the stereotypes off only drugs and whores (which is fun to see tho, I know). Amsterdam is so much more, it's people and places. So let's try and explore!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted several people and met others via this site, see references for more, to make things short: wonderful site! This is the way I feel about people going somewhere else, and being at that place! With their minds, it's great, love it!

Interests

First, I really like music. Escpecially good Hip Hop, mostly jazzy one and deep-going. Drum'n'Bass and Garage is bloody great, I kind of adore those, haha. But give me a good acid-party and there we go. Chill music is also great, it all depends on my mood and the situation. And then what does "style" mean? So much music I love and had great parties with but couldn't put into a box. So generally, it's the music!! I do not agree with people that say "well, if you don't stick to some style, you don't know anything about music." Quite the opposite I think...

I like street-art and other arts as well, good to have that around guys!

City's and languages is also what I'm interested in, generally I'm interested in things I don't know yet... I like a lot and not to less of it! :)
Languages fascinate me, trying to learn as much as possible, picking up little things here and there... So, if ur here, teach me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the norhtern lights on Iceland!

Learning sign language. To me the most honest way to communicate, which is beautiful at the same time.

Travelling to Hong Kong, semi-spontanious, on my own, entering a complete different world with skyscrapers disappearing in low clouds, food and people, the vibe, amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you some Dutch Sign language if you want haha. Or how to safely bike through Amsterdam.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house, the space, cooking, talking, playing cards, going out, showing the city

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Macedonia, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Denmark, Germany, Netherlands
