CURRENT MISSION

To surround myself with as many people and things that make me happy, to do good and have as many laughs as possible ;)

ABOUT ME

My name is Charly, my husky dog is called Luna and together with one roommate we live next to the Vondelpark in Amsterdam.

I'm pretty social, open minded, creative, friendly and honest.
I love a good laugh, love to smoke (just cigs, for me), love good hearted people, love art and creativity, I love music, love to talk about life and be peoples counsellor :)

People who know me would probably say I have a rather eclectic personality, am rather crazy (in a good way) but also that I do not shun the deeper things in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in karma, above all. I think it's important to be a good person.
Plus I live to regret nothing, therefore I pretty much always say and do the things I want :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, ive only hosted once because before I was too busy working and now im leaving to travel soon :( / :)
But I loved the experience and would really like to host more and meet new people!
As a couch surfer, I will probably be one of the cleanest and modest guests you've ever had because i'm rather polite :D I like good fun and my music too but roommates say i'm like a ghost in the house, I just respect peoples space and peace ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch too many movies, I watch a lot of series though, at the moment mostly Californication and New Girl ;)
Books are not really for me, I just do not have the patience or time. If I want to learn something I just look for it online.
Music, however, is like my blood or oxygen. My Spotify is packed: http://open.spotify.com/user/charlyhogenbirk

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done and seen everything almost everything I wanted to, but up until now its been mostly about learning from life and people, sometimes the hard way. If you want to 'do and try it all' like me, it will probably mean some hard stuff as well but i'm grateful for the person thats made me :)
Now I just want to focus even more on enjoying life, meeting more awesome people and seeing all the good places!

Teach, Learn, Share

People tend to enjoy my lame jokes but also my intuition. I love talking to people, about the good and bad things of life, maybe exchange some wisdom here and there.
What I consider my skills are anything digital (graphics, music, I know a lot of sites and apps), giving and doing good, interior and fashion, longboarding & snowboarding (basics), Dutch style hardcore Amsterdam bike riding :), I like to teach my male friends about women, and I can help improve your English or maybe even teach you some Dutch!

What I would love to learn is Spanish, surfing and gather more spiritual and psychlogical wisdom. I just love being around positive and happy people in general. Maybe play some guitar.
