About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to compare different cultures. Now its time to compare Canada with Europe ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going person, who loves to be outside, enjoy nature, do all kinds of sports. I like quiet evenings with my friends, a glass of wine, good homemade food and a good talk. I also like going to a good party. Since i lived in a few places during my life so far, i am a very open minded, outgoing person. Open for new cultures, new poeple, new places. I think friends and family are one of the most importent things and i really appreciate it being able to spend time with them!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing. First used it, when i came to Vancouver for an exchange semester. I had a great host and was very thankful for everything. It was a great couchsurfing start.

Interests

Biking, Cycling, Trekking, skiing, Tennis, Volleyball and all sorts of other sports, but mostly endurance stuff. i like reading good books and spending time with friends and family with good food and stuff to talk about. I enjoy travelling and discovering different cultures, meeting new people. i love spending time in the mountains in summer and winter.

Music, Movies, and Books

Florence and the machine, Alt-j... only two of so many bands i listen to...during sports activity i also listen to good melancholig trance. but i also like hip hop (kanye west, lords of the underground, funky family etc.)
I love historicle romans such as the medicus or the road to isfahan... by noah gordon/gilbert sinoué. i really enjoy movies such as babel, the imaginarium of dr. parnassus, eternal sunshine of the sportless mind, inception (one of my favorite), all the indiana jones with harisson ford, chocolat (and all sorts of johnny depp movies), but i also enjoy good horror movies such as thirty days of night, rec, the descent...
