ABOUT ME
I am a sales trader from Rotterdam. I studied philosophy (my passion) and econometrics (getting a job is also nice). The other very large part of my life is music. I play piano and guitar and love sharing music experiences. I also play chess and do bouldering.

PHILOSOPHY
Aristotlian ethics, Kantian metaphysics, Foucaultian social theory and Zizekian youtube video's,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to open my home to meet new people and share in new experiences. Also being in tourist in my own city is quite fun as more often than not I find out new things about the place I live.

Interests

I play the piano and guitar, so music is a big part of my life. I further like philosophy, that why I study it :), chess, economics, culture and arts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I nearly like all music styles but favourites are classical (for ex. Prokovjev), rock music and rap. Movies: Pulp Fiction, American Psycho, Intouchables.
Books: mostly non fiction, recent fav: Debt The First 5000 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was chosen as chairman of my student society for a year. With six friends we managed the whole society and it was the most enriching and fun year I have ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how play the piano and guitar. I want to learn: french (I'm ok at it and would like to get better), spanish and more philosophy. If you want we'll play a game of chess and I could teach you one or two things. I can also teach you about philosophy and help you solve the deepest problems in your life. Just joking, people leave philosophy class with more questions than answers but those questions sure are different!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of my city with you and take you on an architectural journey through Rotterdam. I can challenge you to a game of chess and other in door activities if that's more your style. I could also take you bouldering (indoor climbing) although I can not teach you much about it.

I love to cook with people and learn other recipes (although I'm not good at it all I'm willing to slice and dice everything you throw at me!).

For last minute request: if I have time and did send nice message I will try host you. But in general requests for staying over on Thursday-Friday last minute will almost always clash with my schedule.
