About Me

“All the world’s a stage” and I own the stage of my private little theatre 🎭

I call myself a playful romanticist. I entertain by imagining and carving stories out of rocky experience. I wish to hear the rich diversity of stories across cultural, geographical and temporal contexts, from you!

Currently, I feel passionate writing stories about experiencing art. I have a substack page on my imaginations of songs that enchant me: https://entaled.substack.com/. On Letterboxd I also write reviews/reflections on cinematic art: https://boxd.it/141eL

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I seek to connect with people who embody loving-kindness, non-judgmentality, openness, curiosity, mindfulness, and a healthy dose of weirdness. I believe that travelling and meeting up with locals is one of the best ways to manifest this pursuit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Amsterdam to Gent, Bruxelles, and back. The total waiting time was 1 hour! A lot else happened so I would love to tell you more about it in real life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am super excited to share with you my knowledge and experience of Dutch, English, Italian, Vietnamese and language learning in general.
I know what it is like to live in Amsterdam, having lived here my entire life.
I have some experience singing and playing the guitar so I can teach you the basics.
I have guided an experiential dance (can tell you more about that in private)
I play table tennis at an intermediate level so I can be your challenger!
I finished a bachelor in psychology so I can definitely still not read your mind, but share with you my knowledge of some obscure and morally questionable psychology experiments from the sixties.
I have followed two practical non-violent communication courses so I can explain and show you what this need-based communication style is like.
I can guide a simple meditation for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All of the above + mediocre puns

Q: What do you call the act of resurrecting of an extinct species?
