I am a composer and performer of electroacoustic music, and I am graduating from my Master of Music this June. I am currently building a personal electronic musical instrument, with which I create and perform short songs.
Besides music, I love playing Ultimate Frisbee in my student team in Utrecht (The Netherlands), and I love bouldering a lot as well (climbing up to 4 or 5 metres without ropes but with mats). I love walking in beautiful nature, going to concerts, working together, hanging out with friends and collegues and making stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it so much more fun to stay with locals. I feel less 'tourist' and more 'guest', which feels way better! Getting in contact with people from different cultures, countries and with a variety of ideas opens up my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovering the Work of Byron Katie

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach throwing a disc, bouldering, longboarding, how to play cello/double bass, how to cut your own hair if you do not want to go to a barbershop, how to make your own personal musical instrument, how to solder (a bit), how to program in SuperCollider (basics). I would like to learn knitting and crochet ( I can do it a bit, so I'd like to learn more), more about programming in Arduino and other fun stuf (surprise me!), to do more with a longboard than riding (which I already do).

What I Can Share with Hosts

All the stuff mentioned above, and besides all of that I can share good spots in Utrecht such as good coffeebars and a great bouldering hall, I can take you to frisbeetraining on Thursday evenings and can of course share anything about (experimental pop-, classical and many other types of) music!
