Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A very good friend ( Ank, she did a lot of couchsurfing) told me that couchsurfing is definately something for me.

Books: mmm, still must learn to grab a book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the prison island of Nusakambangan (Indonesia) that's where my father was born.
Making a 48 hour retour trip to Barcelona with friend Ronald to see his idol Bruce Springsteen perform in the sold-out stadium of Nou Camp.
The moment when I blocked a dunk (basketball) of a 2.05 m. tall guy (and I am 1.78 m.) and then passed the ball to my teammate who dunked the ball in the other basket. I couldn't move for the next 2 minutes due to my adrenaline-rush.
