About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the perfect hummus recipe

ABOUT ME

I like to visit new countries on my list and go to places which are not super touristy. The last few years it has not been unusual to bring an instrument home with me from the country I visited.

I like mud, warm rain, the sound of tuned metal, the colour green, music and much more.
I don't like flat tires, concrete, and the sound of cars on the road after rain.

Currently I'm studying Composition for Electronic Music at the School of Arts in Utrecht. Music is something I'm always busy with.

I love to meet new people and hear stories about traveling or the life they're living in their city/village.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow good feelings

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: whaoh man, I just like sound in general. Let's say the spectrum covers from jazz to experimental electronic, from Gregorian chants to psy-dub.
Films: Melancholia, definitely one of the best movie I've seen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled through Kyrgyzstan, free camped next to the Yurts at 3000 m high next to beautiful mountains. I cycled there for about three weeks, and it's still one of the best things I've done

Teach, Learn, Share

Do the dishes in the sand if you're in a lack of water. With one cup of water all your dishes will be clean! Just put a little bit of water on the plate, and scrub dry sand on it until it's totally clean. A great way to do the dishes when you're in a lack of water!

What I Can Share with Hosts
