About Me

Ok where do I start. I graduated in Sustainable Business, which I guess should mean that I am trying to better the world or something... In theory. In the beginning of this year however, I traded my soul to start working in the corporate world as a consultant. No but all jokes aside, I love my job. Never thought you could be paid for telling what people do wrong.

Enough of the technical stuff. I also have a passion for fitness and nutrition and basically like all kinds of sports. I like to read, a lot. Expanding my mind with new ideas or inspiring stories to get as much value out of life as possible. O well, this sounds kind of serious. Don't worry, I also really like to party, going out with friends and meeting people from different cultures. O and my IMDB movie watch list is way too long...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel primarily through hostels. However, hopping from hostel to hostel you kind of remain a traveler among travelers. Nothing wrong with that, but I noticed couchsurfing shows you a city in a whole different light. It provides a way more realistic and authentic impression of a city and is just way better to meet some cool people and learn some great things from one another!

I also like to host to get the travellers vibe without travelling and never getting stuck in the day to day rat race.

---For surfers: please don't send me request for more than two weeks (or so) in advance. I prefer to not commit to hosting that early. ---

Music, Movies, and Books

I was waiting for this question.

Movies:
-the Matrix
-Fightclub
-Limitless
-Interstellar
-The Devils Double
-Warrior

Books:
I don't usually read fiction, but when fiction meets expansion of the mind, I think you've got a winner. I consider Atlas Shrugged easily the best book I've ever read.

Other Books:
Power of Now,
Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
Unscripted
Spiritual enlightenment, the damnest thing
And many more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a car in the USA and drove 6000miles in 90 days by myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to learn Spanish, so would be happy to practice that. Other than that, I pretty much like to learn and share in all other areas of life :) That's were its all about right?

If you're ever curious about different types of meditation or want to learn some effective tips about fitness... I can tell you all about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Having a good time together (being very modest here). O and of course a couch when you need one yourself.
