Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first I thought CouchSurfing was some new fancy extreme sport :-) But in 2008 I discovered the real CouchSurfing and it became a passion. And 14 years plus 140 references later I am still excited about CouchSurfing.

I want to thank you all for loads of rewarding surfing and hosting experiences. As a simple token of gratitude, I'd gladly like to present my CouchSurfing experience so far. Since the remake of CS in November 2014 only plain text is allowed on the profile, but you can see the fancy *cough* version of the list on http://tinyurl.com/rob-cs-experience (the URL is currently not working, sorry)

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to prefer electronic music, but now I am able to enjoy different kinds of music.
There are a lot of films at home in the 'shelf', but I do not take much time to watch them. I should change this.
And although I read a few books in my life I don't consider myself being a good book reader. I should change this as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I probably did a few amazing things, but nothing beats the moment when I held my son in my arms for the first time in 2012.
2014 update: Holding my second son in my arms for the first time was also not too bad.
