CURRENT MISSION

To bring the wonderful feelings that travel offer back home, so as to live life fully, even whilst going about everyday things

ABOUT ME

I am a Belgian/Dane who studied in Copenhagen and now lives in Valencia Spain. I am doing a PhD in machine learning there and I enjoy the city with its plentiful opportunities to enjoy music/events, bars/parties (mostly bars) and walks. My idea of fun is everything from cooking a meal, and talking over a few glasses of wine (might be my favorite come to think of it) to riding a dolphin into the moon. I am thus up for almost anything as long as it doesn't involve large spiders (unless it is a way to get over my fear of large spiders because that would be much appreciated)

PHILOSOPHY

I think that there is wisdom ready for extracting in everyone - your soulmate as well as your diametrical opposite (more so if they are one and the same :>). In the process of exposing myself to people i might learn from i try to work out what to call my personal philosophy in this loco world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently i am on a journey - so by spreading the good vibes one city at a time i guess ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hablado con gente del mundo first and foremost!... but then i also saw a pack of 200 reindeers skipping around in the high Norwegian fjelds with an albino pack leader in the front - that was mesmerizing

Teach, Learn, Share

Basically if you want to grow, put yourself in a situation to which you are not accustomed, and find out how you react in this situation - if you constantly challenge yourself just a little bit and make an effort not to get stuck in a certain pattern of thought then you, good sir or madam are wise. And thats what traveling is all about for me.
Furthermore Im more than happy talk about/teach:
My study (physics)
Drums (basic)
A language i know
Meditation (the basics)!

Cooking, stories, math lessons, the rules of dungeons and dragons
