About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a painter that is creatively free

ABOUT ME

I'm a child from a big family, 3 sisters and 3 brothers, so I'm used to living in a big group. I try to be as open as possible to everything and everyone. I will always try to understand the opinions of others, sometimes I will put myself on the side. But I'm an optimist, after every downfall I know I will get up again. Each new experience will make me richer as a person, so I actively search for new things to do. I can have very conflicting opinions, but that's OK on my own planet.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to give myself to the fullest every day, in every situation. I know I'm not perfect and I know that the people around me aren't perfect either and that's OK. My problems fall to nothing compared to other misery in the world. So you will never hear me nagging about some stupid thing that happend. And doing that makes my life easier, so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always interested in helping other travellers, showing them the good parts of my country/city, When I see my guests having a good time, I even enjoy it more. I'm living a student life, I live together with 3 friend in a house. So there's always room for other people on the couch, in the garden or on the attic (wich is my own room).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never done it before. But I have hitchhiked through Europe and slept with other people, without the internet. I did it with a good friend that has told me about couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once had a private concert from Highlight Tribe together with a very special girlfriend. Just us, a bottle of wine, full moon, a clear sky, a big fire and 2 musicians on a abandoned island. After a while, people came to dance around the fire, a Swedish girl started to sing opera along with the group. Just a beautyfull night with a girl that will always be in my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to draw and how to paint.
I also know a lot about the human body and body language, this is connected to my job as a painter.
