ABOUT ME

Im tall.
Used to be pretty shy but I think I got used to people staring funny at me. And no I don't play basketball :P
I love to play guitar and make music. (check out some of my covers on youtube under Ben de Boer:) like to sing but it is definitely something I still need to work on. I also like to paint, draw, play chess, travel, workout, play sports, and some video games.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to get the best out of everyday. I am amazed all the time by the pure joy in the small things in life. I try to smile as often as possible and make others smile. I would like to see all the great things life has to offer but know that it is just too much for that to happen. So that is when I turn to National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. I love to see and learn new things and think that is what life is all about. Keeping busy in something you love to do. Right now my life is all about music. So many great artists with great visions that keep me inspired. You can always better yourself and strive to bring out the best in others

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have not participated in couch surfing at all. I havent stayed or hosted but hopefully I will get the opportunity to soon. I learned about this site from my roommate who hosted a few people early in the year and he said it was a great experience.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

A great thing to one person could be climbing mount everest. To another it could be climbing the stairs. I try not to take anything in my life for granted because I know it could all be taken away at any moment. One of the most spectacular things I have seen lately has been the sunset above the desert in Dubai. Everything about it was just unforgettable.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Practice makes perfect but there is no such thing as perfect so you should just keep practicing and do the best you can.
