CURRENT MISSION

Finding the best coffee on earth.

ABOUT ME

My name is Sam and I love espresso. I like going to rave parties, I like hanging out with friends, I like beer over wine. Favorite music at the time of writing: Altin Gun, Kobosil, A Tribe Called Quest. I love to windsurf but I'm not very good at it.

I studied sociology, I now study Music & Event Management. I recently quit my job as bartender in a techno club, now work in a record store. And I organize rave parties.

I live anti-squad, which mostly means in abandoned buildings. I live there to keep it from being vandalized or squadded. Staying with me is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes there's no electricity, or heating. Sometimes I have 24 classrooms to myself, sometimes I have a cupboard to live in. I move around alot, so there's no telling which part of Amsterdam I live in now, or in 4 months...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, and be hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will tell you about my best couchsurfing experience. One New Years Eve I had 10 surfers over, from all over the world. No one knew each other, but within 4 days we felt like we'd known each other for years. We went to parties, ate and drank together and had a great time. We're all still in touch with each other.

Interests

People, traveling, coffee, music, food, parties, pastel de nata, vinyl, more

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a must have seen. Also i like most movies directed by Wes Anderson

Music: I'm into minimalistic electronic music, like ambient and triphop. I also like soul, funk, jazz, old-school hiphop, but most of all: techno.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once sailed a race from Normay to Sweden on a gigantic sailing ship. Didn't win the race.

Teach, Learn, Share

The dutch kitchen hasn't got many recipes, but I can teach you the few worth your while. I can teach you some words in dutch, but do you believe them to mean what I tell you they mean?

I'd like to just get to know you. Learn how you roll, and why.

And we can share a beer, I'd like to share with you the sides of this city you would never have seen without me, and I'd like you to do the same.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to enjoy each others company, hang out and chill, or party hard, listen to each others music and see your cities together. I'm a coffee addict, so please tell me where to find good coffee in your city.
