As my name is Bas, I am a singer! I did the beautiful study to become an Opera Singer in the Netherlands (and partly in Germany over Erasmus). As my education is clearly vocal I love the most to write. Not music but prose and poems.

I like stories and thoughts and associations and language jokes!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

As a young artist I sometimes have to travel unexpected to places not next door. Yet I do not have the budjet to always book this last minute hotels. I have noticed people are rather uncertain about inviting people in their homes. And I sort of understand, you need to be a certain type of person to open up for this. On this website people with different ideas express that possibility. I host myself mostly to people that I know or know a person I know. (or know a person that i know that knows....)

Música, películas y libros

Book: Night train to lisbon(Pascal Mercier)

Film: "ce que le jour doit a la nuit"(Alexandre Arcady) - I am searching for a kopie of this film! i can not find it back anymore!

Algo increíble que he hecho

... 30 min Improvised concert as an opera singer with an Pianist
... ran after my bike that (by magic) drove away from under my feet (don´t ask how, I still don´t really understand myself)

... just one amazing thing? I have many stories!
