About Me

ABOUT ME

Born in the east of the Netherlands, living in Amsterdam for more then 10 years now. Working full time at the university, cycling 1,5 hours every day which possibly says something about me.. What, I'll let you fill that in.

A modern academic hippie who loves all kinds of different people as long as they have respect and don't use the word 'literally' wrong ;). Just joking, I will still like you.. but with a question mark..

"Soms geeft het leven, soms neemt het leven" Life is an equilibrium, and couchsurfing is a beautiful example of that. Welcome the world in your home and the world will be your home :). (Told you I was a modern hippie).

PHILOSOPHY

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beste way of staying at a place you don't know, yet. Period.

Interests

I've studied Neurobiology. So what happens in the brain while we function like we do. Definitely don't mind talking about these kinds of subjects, but don't think all I do is think about how I'm thinking.. ;)

Besides talking about brains I love traveling (who doesn't), hanging out with friends (who doesn't), dancing, dogs, cheese, painting, hiking and talking to strangers.
