Student in International Development Studies. Living in Quito, Ecuador at the moment to do research for my Master's thesis. Very interested in anything having to do with people, society, psychology, environmental and global poverty and development issues. All kinds of cities and travelling, writing, cooking food annnnnnnd MUSIC! Working on a new solo project atm with which I'm going to hit the stage as soon as I get back to Amsterdam. Like science, like poetry & lyrics, like any kind of music, like going out, travelling, going to concerts and/or festivals. Tolerant. Free. Happy. Open.

PHILOSOPHY

Now is all there is, let go.
True perfection has to be imperfect.
Where words fail, music speaks.
Que sera, sera.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Whenever I'm going to a place that is new to me, I think the best way to get to know it and experience it is not staying in a hostel and work down a list of tourist attractions, but meet local people who in my opinion know much more interesting information about the place. I'm always open and keen to meet new people so we can share experiences with each other, making the experience of the city in question many times more valuable.
