About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meeting nice folks in new places, or nice people from anywhere

ABOUT ME

So nice stating who u are... I'm a social guy. I like to make jokes, i can be a bit hyperactive, yet I'm also quite sensitive (meaning i take account for others also).

I don't feel like explaining everything in here, aint it best just to get to know each other?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a big fan of stating philosophies, but will tell u enough when u ask! I'll make a cliché one on the spot: be urself, accept other things and persons for what they are, the only one u can fool is urself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm up for anything, I like to host, surf and join events (though I should do this more then I do).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really like the diversity in Couchsurfing, both the people I met and the activities I joined were very diverse and all positive :)

Interests

There are so many nice things. I get most joy from social happenings and music. I like to spend time going out (for dinner, playing pool in a bar or going to a big festival), or staying in (cooking dinner, talking/playing games with friends), having a walk in nature or chilling @ a great spot.
I like doing sports also (especially skiing an iceskating), i enjoy playing guitar but do it too little atm... I love very different styles of music and also like fantasy/fairy tales (both in games and movies)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books, though i'd like to have read them, i don't read much... My friends state that I already have a book when the subject comes up, fortunately these friends can update me on many books :)

Too much music: funk, soul, reggae, metal, hardrock, DnB, dubstep, pop, singer/songwriters, flamenco, classical (mainly romantic period) and more....

movies: i like fantasy/fairytales (like Big Fish, Pan's labyrinth, princess mononooke), also like differnet kinds of animation.
There also many other movies i like, lets say i like most xcept horror and romantic comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First of all, I'm hoping visiting u, or having u stay over makes me replace a moment here ;)Ok, now lets pick some nice ones:
- I really enjoyed traveling on volcano's in indonesia. I ran one down, where the path was filled with warm water. Really tried to rush it and had to focus, yet my speed was nothing compared to our guide that knew the volcano perfectly well ofc :P Another Volcano we rode up on horses. It was a bit too touristic, yet the power of the small horses riding up the hardened lava was amazing!
- I went to a dance festival closeby last summer, and loved dancing, talking to people feeling free and having fun. Of course there many of these moments. I doubt if i was 'awestruck' yet being outdoor enjoying music & dancing is great so has to be mentioned!
- The joy in life is still about the small things also.. Sitting on a terras in Italy enjoying a great cappucino, looking at 2 old men discussing the truth of life, a mom worried handling her kid while walking with groceries in her hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I might teach you how to make silly jokes? There some dishes i can cook decently, if you're a beginner at playing guitar i can help you out a bit also (or will you teach me some new tricks?). Due to studies and work I have some knowledge about people with behavioural/psychiatric problems. Mainly agression, autism and cluster C personality disorders.
