About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing college and earning money as soon as possible so I can go snowboarding or surfing for 8 or 9 months.

ABOUT ME

I'm a down to earth kinda guy very open minded, everything is fine and I always wanna try new things. When I was 18 years old I went to school in the US for 9 months. When I went over there I hardly ate anything, when I got back I ate almost everything.
This was my 'transformation year' not only about trying new things but it also made me realize that there's nothing else I would rather do then to travel all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that the country I'm from has nothing to offer me. That's why I wanna travel as much as possible to find the perfect spot to live the rest of my life. The perfect spot for me would be somewhere warm, close to the beach, and close to some high mountains where I can snowboard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this moment I'm moving my room up to the attic. When this is finished I can host someone in my room on a matrass.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experiences through this website. But I have lived in 5 different hostfamily's troughout Santa Barbara, CA. So I can tell something about them. The first hostfamily was really nice but the food was terrible. Sometimes we got a bowl of soup for dinner and that's it! The 3rd hostfamily was completely the opposite. It was one old Swedish lady who was not very nice but in the evening she always made a lot of food and every time it was really good and fresh. (In both hostfamily's I stayed for 2,5 months each)

Interests

I love snowboarding and surfing. I'm not so good at the surfing though but I'm eager to learn. I also like hiking in the mountains or on volcanoes.
Going out to party's, dancing, drinking and listening to the music is something I can enjoy as well.
And actually I love playing all sports. From soccer to basketball to ping-pong or golf.
I myself play squash and I think I can honestly say I'm pretty good at it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter and the Hunger games. Both the movies and the books have pleased me.
As for music I like listening to everything but when it comes to party's I prefer some dubstep or other electronic music. But I can still have a good time on any other type of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Tokyo,Japan all by myself when I was 19 years old. I had met some Japanese people the year before in the US so now I was going to meet them and I stayed at one friend's place for 10 days.
