About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

Hi there!

I'm a really open minded person full of energy who loves to travel, see other cultures and the most important of all... to meet new people. I believe that when you traveling and meet new people you will upgrade your awareness about the planet, society and life. You will develop yourself and the others you meet. Different people can learn a lot from each other and try to life in a better world. The most important with this is that you never judge someone else by race, religion, color and stuff like that. I've traveled now to almost 100 countries and think i've some life experience and would like to share this with other people. And what the most important things in life is to enjoy life and be positive all the way. Have a positive mind attitude!

A really nice thing what i've did 10 years ago is to develop some sustainable products with the indigenous Tagbanua tribe form the Philippines. I had my own Fair Trade company (www.asianfairness.nl) in the Netherlands and this is my active way to try tho help local people and give them a better place in a world who is chancing. Don't think only to yourself, we are all connected....

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem. Wake up and live, be positive

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I bless myself with luck and all the great experiences i had so far with Couchsurfing. I have stayed with amazing people from all over the world. I know more people are saying it... but its just the truth; your travels get meaning by the people you have meet and the stories you share.

It's also a nice way to get in touch by people just for having a coffee, beer or chat. And to participate at some events.

Interests

Culture, knowledge, science, people, politics, nature, life, music, party, adventure, outdoors, enjoying life....

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a big part of my life. I'm involved with music in different ways. I was playing music as a DJ on a semi-proffesional basis. I'm also a producer and released around 10 music tracks on different music labels around the word. I've also played on party's in countries like; Holland, Belgium, Finland, Spain, Switzerland, India, and Nepal.

I mostly like educational reading because i like knowledge. About movies, i love mostly documentaries. I have watched a lot... and then i mean A LOT!

Books i love to read as well! Love it to be in an 12 hours busdrive in a new country watching outside the window and reading a book.
