About Me

Euh... next question please! ;-)

One hint: when I signed up, I mixed up first name and last name... my first name is Joeri (pronounced like "Yuri").

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, new mindsets, new ideas.

The idea behind Couchsurfing has been very appealing to me - When I'm traveling by hitchhiking I used to get saved for the night quite often by my drivers, or sometimes even by strangers on the street. I was often quite amazed how hospitable people can be, even if you spoke to them for just a few moments.

Now that I'm getting slowly older, I want to return that favor to the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything which is good ;-)

Music: I spend lots of free time on concerts and music festivals, so if we meet there's a big chance there will be some musical surroundings. Some favourites: Explosions in the Sky, PJ harvey, Tame Impala, Crystal Fighters, Slowdive, Efterklang, Glass Animals, Boards of Canada, Crystal Fighters ...

Movies: there are quite a lot of interesting film festivals in Prague. The best known is Febiofest. Check it out baby!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking all across South-America ... Best adventure ever!

Moving to Prague - I came with the idea to stay 2 years maximum and 11+ years later I'm still around and amazed by this city every day :-)
