About Me

CURRENT MISSION

bladibla pompidom ladidaaaaa

ABOUT ME

I cook, I dance, I read, I write, iPhone, I film, I watch, I visit, I eat, I drink, I eat, I drink, I listen, I talk, I bike, I sleep, I party, I travel, I think, I doubt, I proclaim, I love, I miss, I am moving to Argentina! I embrace, I enjoy and I play... a lot... ergo I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Dont take life too seriously, but seriously; live a little!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I can; surfing when im welcome. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS life started when I moved to New York. My two hosts there, Frances and Amit showed me the true meaning of hospitality and I will never be able to repay the way they made my first weeks there so amazing. But I'll try!

Interests

Going out, having good food, philosophy, global politics (however depressing it may be), reading&writing, filming&watching.

And obviously, naturally, of course, it goes without saying that I love travelling and all the experiences it has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies (better to make than to see): Fight Club, Dogville, In the Mood for Love, Recycle, Dark knight, y tu mama tambien.

Music (better to dance than to listen): Everything of quality, all music has its time, all times have its music... (except for indie-stupid-guitar bashing hipsters; enough is enough already!)

Books (better to have than to read...??): The New York Trilogy, Siddharta, Lord of the Rings:). Extremely loud & Incredibly Close. Heartbreaking work of staggering genius, wind-up bird chronicle, kafka on the shores.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climb the Mayan temples in Tikal, live in Barcelona, going on a trek with Tibetan nomads, experiencing sth as completely different as China, living in nyc.
My life has been a priviliged one and that, if nothing else, compels me to try to share it with as many as possible. (aint I the sweetest thing ever...)

Teach, Learn, Share

To Teach and to Learn are the same word in Dutch, and this for me shows the inherent complementary nature of the two. If we meet the learning and teaching will follow naturally... Liquor usually also helps.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Laos, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Netherlands, Spain
