Walked the Himalayas, hitchhiked through Norway, hiked 800km to Santiago de compostella, met lots of great people from different countries, I tried learning many languages (how much I like the melodies of Italian or Norwegian, however I have never been able to focus hard enough to master those languages).

I am a very positive guy, patient, and a good listener. I would describe myself as an adventurous but down-to-earth person. I like to have a serious conversation about deep matter (philosophy, politics, psychology, physics everything really) but can also be dangerously funny in a stupid way.
I love nature and outdoor activities, which I enjoy to combine with traveling (yeay hiking!!)

I love to paint and to make music

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is one of the best ways for self development, broadening your horizons, meeting people of different cultures, learning new languages and different ways of living. Let's have some good conversations or go on adventure together!

Interests

Nature (always enjoy to be in the mountains since Netherlands is so flat.....)
Science and philisophy
(Contemporary) Arts

Making/listening to music.

Cooking, and knowing where my food comes from (I recently learned how to pickle and ferment my own food) I also grow herbs and a few vegies in my windowsill and on the balcony.
