Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hitchhiked a few times, but hosted tons of times: It's time to cash in that good karma and go to NY! I was travelling from Slovenia back to the Netherlands once, and couchsurfed along the way. It was a great experience and we're still friends!

Interests

Biology, rowing, archery, photography, (downhill)longboarding, surfing, sailing, the sea.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I really liked '9', but every now and then I just crave a nice and stupid japanese horror movie. The BBC's planet earth are a source of inspiration for me.

Music: More or less everything that's not auto-tuned: I've got LP's from Led Zeppelin to Pantera, and play cello and sing myself. I'm learning to play guitar but boy is it ever going slowly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was downhilling in Slovenia, I saw two wild black bears crossing the roads, with two cubs. That was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn you photography, the beginnings of playing the ukulele, sailing and skating. I can teach you how to curse in Dutch and how to cook the best pancakes you've ever had.
