PHILOSOPHY

Have fun and try to do the things you want to do!

Travellers don't know where they are going, tourists don't know where they are.
Chai, chillum, chapati, welcome to Parvati!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My family and I try to host and help people as much as possible while still being able to perform our own tasks. If someone has a problem/question/whatever I try to help because it's always a lot easier as a local than as a tourist (even though we Dutchies speak English just fine (i.m.o.)).

With surfing I try to really get to know people and I love to learn about what they want to do in life. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and I have some super-cool memories from both surfers and hosts I met =D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting people from all over the world and showing them your city or letting them show you their city is something really special. It's awesome this exists and I hope to be able to host and surf with many more Couchsurfers. So far, I'm having a blast!

Interests

Chilling, traveling, dancing, people, drugs, sports, food, culture & adventure (and most other things that are not boring)!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music, books and films. Please do recommend me stuff you enjoy and feel like I should be enjoying as well. Everything that brings people together is fantastic!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is simply too much to write to down here. I'm not sure I can limit it down to one thing, so here goes:
-I loved diving even though I haven't finished the PADI course;
-Riding a camel through a sandstorm;
-Going on a 60-hour bus ride (twice) was also a delightful experience;
-Bungee jumping totally makes the list;
-Entering a cryochamber at -120°C was certainly a special experience;
-I also did a Skype yoga session together with one of my hosts and his girlfriend;
-A guy who picked me up while hitchhiking let me drive his car once;
-Last but not least I once saw someone try to take a Golden Eagle on an airplane. The eagle's wings were tied to his body and he had been put in a banana box.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask and you shall receive =] I enjoy sharing new things with people and if I find a way to improve your life or help you out somewhere I will totally tell you! Also, teach me new things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's cook some food (preferably desserts), or dance, or have fun, or I can teach you why and HOW not to play the room escape game. Take some time, sit down for a cuppa tea w/ me and I'm sure we'll eventually find something that we can share & learn from. If not, we just enjoy our tea & talk ^^
