"I wasn't meant for reality, but life came and found me" - Fernando Pessoa

I think I'm a mixture of easy-going and open-minded life-enjoyment, idealism, fun, wide interests, culture, art and party, grinded with a preference for absurdism, a passion for food, a never-ending travelmind and a complete obsession with people, their stories, identities and pasts.

Momentarily, I am living in the Viking capital of Jutland, Aarhus, where I'm following an international M.A. programme in Journalism, media and globlisation and trying to write a novel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled through Europe in summer 2011 and had some fantastic experiences with Couchsurfing. I hosted some gorgeous and fabulous people in my old house in Amsterdam-West, and during my Erasmus-time in Poland I met a lot of wicked people through Couchsurfing as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a good cook and love to cook dinner together. I can teach you how to cook or bake Dutch delights, but also like to experiment in the kitchen. I want to learn about cultures, habits and all that things that don't seem obvious in the first place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideas, interests, discussions about a wide variety of topics. Politics, art, history, literature, LGBTQ-issues, environmental issues... Besides from that I think I'm fun to go out with, or that is what others have made me to believe.
