About Me

I love travelling. In February 2019 I started a trip around the world by bicycle. Making out most of life is what drives me. I'm curious about meeting new people and hear stories from and about them. I'm open minded and very flexible (not physical flexible).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a cheap, nice and learnful way of backpacking. The people I met during travelling are almost all open minded and these are the people who inspire me the most, that's why I like to meet more people. I host people and I have been hosted.

Interests

I like to make films about my journey, keep a blog about my journey (www.basidsinga.com), photograph during my journey, listen to any kind of music, snowboard if there is snow, think about psychology and philosophy thing if I'm bored and sometimes try some delicious local food if I'm hungry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Muse, Jamie XX, London grammar, Alt-J, Kasabian, Deep house music
Movies: Into the wild, Whiplash, Warrior
Books: Nelson Mandela biography, Into the Wild, The Alchemist
