About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a spontaneous guy that loves to party and go out and do things, but can also enjoy a walk on the beach or anywhere else for that matter. I like the company of people, and I'm highly adaptable to people -actually meaning that I'm interested in a lot of cultures-. I laugh and smile a lot, and always try to make the best of things.

I love to meet new people: I'm the kind of guy that just can't do something by himself, really. I like the company of my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

In some weird way, we're all here for a reason. We're just yet to find out what reason that is.

Interests

I love languages and cultures. I have studied Chinese Language & Culture in Leiden (a city in Holland), and I study European Languages & Cultures (Linguistics) at the University of Groningen at the moment, so go figure!

Other than that: I'm a huge Apple fanboy, so articles and rumors about Apple sometimes consume some of my time ;-)
I like swimming and I'd love to dive sometime.

Other than that I love traveling and learning some more languages!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is slightly weird, meaning that I nearly like everything. I can't really call it a 'taste in music' ;-)

It varies from the top hits, to trance, to techno, to dubstep, to K-Pop, to whatever.
Things I dislike, though, are hardcore and hardstyle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked trough mountains near Luxembourg which amazed me. I've made some beautiful pictures there, and it was a hell of a good workout I'd say ;-)!

I've also been to Rome once, and my god, that's one heck of an impressive city, now isn't it?!

Teach, Learn, Share

As the language freak I am, I must say that languages open people up. They make you talk in a whole different way in each language. You attach a different personality to each language, and in each language you can express yourself differently. Teach, Learn, and Share (minority)languages. If a language dies, a culture dies with it.
