Hugging my cat

ABOUT ME

A friend of mine called me a 'geweldenaar' last night. I think he meant it in a good way, and then it means that he thinks I'm a great and very capable person. (the other translation is that I'm a violent person, but I don't think he meant that, I hope). Usually people would describe me as sweet and caring, and just a bit quirky.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't try to be better then another, try to be better then yourself...that, and cook wonderfully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host! In the mountains! Ain't that awesome? But you'll have to find a way to get there 'cuz I don't have a car (nor can drive) and there's no public transport available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None at the moment...

At the moment mostly my masterthesis and documentary filmmaking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everyone should watch WALL-E, Mr. Nobody, Big Fish and Micmacs (a brilliant french film).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Viewing the sun set in the white desert in Egypt, with a group of amazing people, who happen to be friends of mine. The sence of freedom you can get while all alone in such a vast area made me feel grand and petit at the same time.

Another amazing thing was also in Egypt, I spend to weeks hanging out with the 6th of April movement, a non-political youth movement who were at the very core of the Egyptian revolution. We spend the nights at Tahrir square, the main square in Cairo, which played a central role during the revolt.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell stories, learn you some words in an different language, make that photoshoot you long wanted but never got around to and cook!
