Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING With a double bed, a little time, a story, a breakfast, and lust for life. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Wim: My Iranian friend used to invite me for long nights of chat and drink and force me then to sleep in his bed, while he slept on the cold floor (like he used to do in his home-country and was longing for to do again). And I surfed on God's personal couch: the Andalusian beach on a hot summer night. Christina: cheesy but true - every couchsurfing experience leaves me with the warm feeling that there indeed still IS hope for this planet
Music, Movies, and Books
Wim: books from Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Hodgkinson, Geert Mak, Fatou Diome ... Movies from Almodovar, Wong Kar Wai, the Coen Brothers, Wim Wenders, Lars von Trier, Ousmane Sembene...and last one: ZEITGEIST: Addendum Music that makes me dance (for example Kings of Convenience: "I rather dance than talk with you")or music that makes me shiver like Sigur Ros.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Wim: To see artist Jeff Buckley playing live on a festival, shortly before he died. I wish he had not. Christina: waking up over the roofs of Fes at sunrise
Teach, Learn, Share
Wim: I would like to learn how to repare bikes and how to sing and play flamenco. I would like to know how to cook properly. I could teach how to play basic guitar. Christina: always searching for new cake and cookie recipes and sharing mine. Interested in migration experiences.
My Interests
