Hi I'm Ewout and living on Scheveningen, the beachside area of The Hague. Last year (2015) was a year full of drastic changes so 2016 is the year in which I'm going to make a new start in life. Travelling and meeting new people are (going to be) a big part in that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people. I never really did but the past year a lot has changed and I now discover more and more how much I can learn just by basically hearing what others have to say and what experiences they had.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music. That is a hard one. I listen to a lot of styles. I grew up listening to classical and jazz, then in the 90's to pop, after that it was mostly rock, punk and metal in my adolescent years and after that it was a lot of drum'n bass and dubstep. Now it's a mixture of everything but it's a bit full circle so modern classical and jazz are two major styles I listen to nowadays.

My favorite books are books that can teach me things about myself. So I guess self-help and spiritual books. I'm now reading 'An autobiography of a yogi' because I wanted to learn more about life in an Indian ashram. Hope to travel to India somewhere in the coming years.

Favorite movies... let's say I don't have TV. I hardly watch any movies but I watch a lot of documentaries about various topics.
