About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Expand my horizon, get inspired and meet interesting people

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded, creative, optimistic and always up for an adventure. I'm also laid back and enjoy good conversation. I like any kind of music, mostly alternative.

I'm left and right handed.

Ethically, I'm a vegetarian, but I love the taste of meat too much.

I sprained and broke my left hand 9 times, mostly falling from bikes and trees.

My favorite thing in the world is to swim in the ocean, especially in the big waves.

I moved 33 times. At a moving company university, I'€™d graduate with honors.

PHILOSOPHY
Live your dreams.
You don't know what you're capable of until you try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I live in a Manhattan shoebox. As soon as I have a bigger space I hope to be able to offer my couch to likeminded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I visited a friend in Seattle, WA. He told me about it while I was crashing his couch. Immediately I was in love with the idea. I only couchesurfed one time in Amsterdam in 2013. I became close friends with my hosts and we've visited each other several times since then and are still in weekly contact.

Interests

I design things, mostly digital. I like to write, travel, draw and meet people. I'm always on the hunt for inspiration. I have a natural curiosity for all things that are digital and for design. I'm also very good as a backup dancer, nomad, karaoke singer, storyteller, pin pusher, finger crosser, key tapper, chocolate smuggler, collar flipper, bowl licker, gummy bear connoisseur, cat whisperer and dog tamer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came with two bags to USA and I've been living there for the last 10 years and made a career.

I traveled once around the globe in 3 weeks, managing couple times to get for free into the first class, and all that by wearing just one pair of black Havaianas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always bring great presents. I'm a really good cook. And you're place might look and smell better after my stay.
