About Me

MISSION
Enjoy life as much as possible. Experience, feel and learn more.+ learn to play harmonica or any instrument.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easily inspired, positive and very friendly human being. At the moment I'm really excited to experience the world and develop myself over time.
I love people with ideas who are up for any kind of crazy suggestions I come up with.
I enjoy listening to any story or life-perspective that people want to share.
I find pleasure in helping others, which actually makes me a bit egoistic... But from your point of view I'm a very caring and honest guy. :p I have a weak conscience and I say that in a positive way, because it means I can't lie or do something against my moral without feeling bad.
I also try to be completely open-minded to everything in life, even though I sometimes find myself being judgemental. Luckily this happens less frequently as time goes by.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to have a good time with people I might not have met without cs.
It's one of the best ways to travel in my opinion.

Interests

Competitions of most kinds attract me and I like sports. Basketball and beach volleyball are my main sport interest.
I'm a fan of mathematics and physics, but recently I've gotten more and more curious about politics and social science. Furthermore I'm trying to play the harmonica, though I lack musicality and I'm still in early beginners phase.
Of course I'm very interested in in travelling, meeting people and exploring nature.
I love to challenge myself with both physically exhausting missions and put myself in social situations which are out of my regular comfort zone.
Recently I've dug deep to find my artistic self, but so far I haven't discovered any hidden talents. I will keep trying with my acrylic paints and oil pastels since I still enjoy painting. Nowadays I'm doing some improvisational theatre with friends, it's hilarious and also some what artistic.
I like living simple and primitive, especially when travelling.
Also I'm a food addict, I always eat until the plate doesn't need cleaning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Memento is one of my favourite movies
Even though I enjoy music I'm bad at remembering names and such, but Beirut, Iron and wine, REM and the soundtrack for Into the Wild catches my attention. I think my musicstyle is really simple and I like lyrics with meaningful content.
I'm actually interested in reading and I try to, but I find it hard to get stuck in a book. The conclusion is I don't read too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting all kinds of people when hitchhiking around East Africa.

Watching the sunrise from a mountaintop.

Staring wild animals in the eye is almost as amazing as staring at fire.

Force myself to social situations I wouldn't have experienced without going outside my safe comfort zone and almost always have a great time as result.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you a lot of things, depending on what you already know. Recently I've been told I know lots of odd, interesting and funny facts and experiments for example.
I can share good times and conversations. I can most likely share many of my belongings also if you happen to be in need of something I got.
I want to learn how to play an instrument and anything I don't already know.
