About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to be free and independent so I can work when and where I want & see places and meet people.

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed and easy going guy of 24 who doesn't easily stress out. I have a friendly and positive attitude and will always try to help people. I am driven to make something out of life and experience new people, food, places, cultures, and much more!.I consider myself moderately outgoing and enjoy good conversation, interested in people and people have told me I'm a good listener. At times, when I become enthausistic you might have to shut me up though ;).

PHILOSOPHY

Life is shorter than you think, make something of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host people, as I believe it is an easy and nice way to get to know new poeple and its great to help travelers. However, my current accomedation isnt suitable to host people, so I limit myself to surfing for the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havent really couchsurfed yet, because I dont have alot of time to travel at the moment, unfortunately. I did attended a Couchsurfing meeting in London and I really enjoyed that.

Interests

I love coffee, especially espresso. I have my own Mokka and coffee grinder so I can make the coffee exactly as I like it, black and very strong. I enjoy going out to bars and pubs with a good atmosphere and preferably comfy chairs. I also like to go out for partying once in a while.With respects to sports, I like snowboarding and windsurfing, though dont have much time for these activities nowadays. I also like to spend time reading non-fiction books, because I want to understand how things the world a little bit better.My favourite music is trance and progressive and can really enjoy a good vocal trance song. Some of my favourite artists are Oceanlab, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Cosmic Gate, Whippenberg, First State, Pedro del Mar, Leon Bollier, and many others. I also like to listen to is house, beach house, artists such as norah Jones, Alanis Maurisette, Coldplay, Katy Perry, and the Killers.
