About Me

ABOUT ME

I really like to joke around but I also usually end up having long and endless discussions about how the world and people work. Very interested and want to figure things out.

PHILOSOPHY

Pretty liberal, I guess. Do what you want, and try not to hurt others while doing so. I believe in being nice and polite to strangers, in giving the benefit of doubt, and having a kind word.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have mainly been on the receiving end of CS, but from now on, hopefully by hosting as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure of meeting some couchsurfers through my friends who have hosted them, and have crashed a couple of couches in Amsterdam with my friends (who have been already participating in CS, the smart ones).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a night in the woods with friends and one grownup as a kid and wandered around with flashlights and learned about constellations. We traveled there in a trailer with no roof, which made it extra fun.
