CURRENT MISSION

Building up a new life in Brasília

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun-loving, outgoing guy. I'm the type of person that thrives on change, when things remain the same for too long I get restless. New experiences and new people fuel my life, so I love to travel and I love meeting travelers and people from abroad here in Amsterdam. I live with two of my best friends, both travelers at heart like me. I am a language freak, I love learning new languages and I enjoy speaking different languages. My English is more fluent than my Dutch, which probably says it all. Anyway, I studied at the University of Amsterdam, a Masters of International Relations. Nowadays I am struggling to make piece with working life, which is going pretty well since I started my new position at the Embassy.

PHILOSOPHY

Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by surfing and hosting whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The coolest experiences surfing were Oaxaca, London, Galdar (Gran Canaria), Paris. The most fun I've had here in Amsterdam hosting people must have been either with 2 South Africans from Australia, or with some Mexican friends. Anyway all were good times, I haven't had a single bad experience yet.
