About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live an awesome life!

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing and active person. I love sports and listening to music. I'm kind of a nice guy and I love to meet new people. I have a very broad interest and I can get enthusiastic about a lot of things. I'm very happy most of the time:)

PHILOSOPHY

“You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take away from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love going to Couchsurfing meetings to meet new people. I also would love to couchsurf more when i go to different countries. Furthermore i really like to host people as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now i have been to two Couchsurfing meetings. One in Brussels by accident, where i met a nice Tunisian guy where me and my friend Ward ended up surfing for two days. This was my first couchsurfing experience. The other gathering was in Maastricht. In between these meetings i also hosted a lady from Latvia which was also a very nice experience. I ended up meeting alot of cool people from different cultures through Couchsurfing. It surely is freakin awesome!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:

Music:
I listen to a lot of different genres of music, but I mostly listen hip-hop. Lately i have been loving two rap groups from Australia, namely Bliss n Eso and Horrorshow. I listen to oldschool hip-hop, some new school, underground and I also listen to a lot of 'YouTube rappers', if you can call them that. Besides hip-hop I also love to listen to Mumford & Sons, Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, India Arie etc. I love music in general!

Books:
I don't really read to much, but i really want to read more in the future! One book that i really loved, was the Art of Happyness by the Dalai Lama. One book that is on my list is, the 4 hour workweek by Timothy Ferriss!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have showered under a waterfall in the Alps. I climbed various mountains like, Zugspitze, Hochvogel and a 3025 meter high mountaintop in the Dolomieten. I went to a rooftop party in London with my good friend Ward. I went to Paris to train Parkour at the Dame Du Lac in Lisses with a small group of awesome people.
