About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy live! I just quit my job, got a motorcycle and soon I'll start travelling. This unfortunately also means that for a while I won't be able to host any guests. ...

ABOUT ME

fun, creative, what you see is what you get, out going and active but also serious at times ;)

My dream in life is to build my own self sustainable house where I am able to receive a lot of guests.

In the end of 2015 I will start my trip through Europe in order to find a plot of land to buy. If you know of a nice (and reasonable priced) plot of land thats for sale, please contact me!

At the moment I am studying to be an Hike and Survival instructor, so spending a lot of times in the forest at the moment!

PHILOSOPHY

1. You will be treated as you treat others.
2. I am responsable for everything that happens in my life.
3. Don't depend on other to take care of you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to help surfers out in any way that I can, like picking people up from or bringing people to the airport, showing them around the city of Eindhoven or other locations in the Netherlands. Love to share meals or drinks with surfers and really get to know you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a number of surfers now and I have stayed in Poland and Czech Republic. I only had great experiences and am looking forward to all the people I will get to meet in the future :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Into the wild is my all time number one (book, movie and music album)

Other then that I listen to almost everything, it mostly depends on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived in Rio de Janeiro I was going out in Lapa and I saw a little boy who was sleeping on the street outside a bar, on a friday night at 3 in the morning, with a box of chewing gums in his hands. I woke him and started talking with him, about why he was sleeping there and why he wasn't at home with his parents. So while talking his 2 brothers came up to me as well. We had some hamburgers and soda's and were just talking and playing.

So in the end, when everybody else was dancing and drinking there, I ended up playing a horse with those kids on my back. The joy those kids had at that moment was the best thing that happend to me in my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning all about living a self sustainable life, so anyone with any kind of knowledge, please share your powers with me! Of course I will help you in any way I can by sharing the things I have learned so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My goal is to help you in any way I can. Whatever you need, if it is within my abilities I will help you :)
