About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep on searching.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy people, theater, art in general, reading, singing whilst riding my bike, dancing in the rain, imagining the impossible and make it happen anyway, reading Winnie-the-Pooh out loud.

I've traveled some places in this world and feel very fortunate to have done that, but they made me (as probably you all) realize that there are endless possibilities and chances to grab - which I am planning to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Many - lets share them verbally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing tiny bits and pieces of me and enjoying tiny bits and pieces of others.

- Read my couch information before you enter a request!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in New-Zealand, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France.. and probably more places. Although I've surfed much more I do also like to host, the problem is that I'm abroad a lot for my occupation and therefore can't really tell in advance whether I'll be able to host.

I've never regretted CS somewhere, for me it is the best way to meet, connect and share together.
But note that I'm not necessarily fond of being guided around all day long or guide someone all day long. It is a search for balance and needs and that is completely ok.

Interests

Cultures, physical theatre, Kit Johnson, eating a nice breakfast with fresh orange juice, a nice lunch with fresh beaned coffee and dinner with red red wine. Brainstorming on world changing topics up to the point where you believe you can. Making small or big discoveries in yourself, others and everyday life - or simply the fact that you balance is completely fucked up when you walk around with a small mirror on top of your nose in which you see the sky above whilst feeling the hot dry summer grass under your feet.
