About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing something in my live about what I will be able to say 'Look that's something i helped making'

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in Computer Science and have a life apart from my pc. I'm leader in a youth movement and practice the art of movement (Parkour).

PHILOSOPHY

Trough perseverance you can achieve almost anything.
And habit is a powerful tool in achieving something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only a single couchsurfing experience in the UK which was very nice!

Music, Movies, and Books

Inglorious Bastards is a great movie! In general i like movies with a little twist in it. Not a too straight forward (too obvious) story in it.
Read the Harry Potter Books, Amazing.
Into all kinds of music: Daft Punk, Black Sabbath, Queen, Queens of the Stone age, Pendulum, ...
Over the last years the variance in my music choice has greatly increased: Hip Hop, Techno, Classicial, Jazz, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nature, Science amaze me every day.
One thing that was really impressive to me as a kid was the radio telescope of 100m diameter in Effelsberg in Germany.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been a trainer in Parkour for several years and currently into bouldering. Teaching people stuff gives me satisfaction too, be it theoretical, practical or just trivia stuff I find interesting. Seeing a new learners perspective is always enlightening in some way and by trying to explain things my understanding improves as well.
Learning about the things I like is a never ending journey with curiosity as my tour guide.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland
