I'm curious, adventurous, flexible, hard to annoy :)

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever I have a empty spot in my schedule, which is unfortunately not so often, I try to visit some of the many CS meetings here in Utrecht. I also join the Dutch lessons once in a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Trying to find an alternative to the dull hotels in Minsk and ended up couchsurfing all the way. Hooked ever since.

Interests

Economy, history, 3rd world development, old landrover cars, artificial intelligence, arthouse movies

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Virtually anything that's not on MTV. I attend plenty of gigs by unknown bands in the various nice venues around Holland (and preferably abroad). See my Last.FM profile

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definately driving from the Netherlands to Mali in an old car.

Discovering there was a marriage planned for me is also an all time high in the amazing experiences list.

Teach, Learn, Share

Among my many skills are mastery of the Dutch language, cooking, sailing, coding in Perl and changing tyres on a landrover vehicle within 15 minutes.
