Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
It's always nice to get to know more people from around the world
ABOUT ME
I'm a 36 year old gay guy from Amsterdam who is open for new infuences. Looking forward on meeting new people who make my perspective more broad (and just having a nice time to meet new people).
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to the fullest and be responsible for your own actions. But if something bad happens think about it once and maybe when a situation alike comes along think of it twice. But keep focusing on the future. The future is where you can really make the change still. So don't be sad because you look to much to the past. You can think about the things you can do better next time in Heaven (there you have more than enough time to reflect on everything).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'd like to host a nice vacation experience for people who like to come to Amsterdam. Also occasionally I would like to travel abroad and hope to get hosted with someone nice.
READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST
Amsterdam is quite a populair city and there are many requests a day so I can not host everybody. What am I looking for in a guest, it is not that dificult: In general I only host single visitors and I like to get to know the person a little bit more. Also I value refferences, especially if you have hosting experiende (if you dont have hosting experience it is not likely I will accept. For me Couchsurfing is a game of GIVE AND TAKE not only take if all the people on Couchsurfing would only surf and not host there is no surfing at all).If you don't have refferences hosting is a great way of building up refferences. Make your request personal and show that you have read my profile so i can genuinly see you are interested to stay with me and that it is not a copy past request.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell very much about Amsterdam. ICT but that is my work so I hope you do not expect me to fix a broken computer. For the rest I like to reflect views on art, history and politics. That is what I like about couch surfing the most that you get to know so many different people with different ways of life and different views.

good times, cooking, talk about politics, movies, arthouse and blockbuster. and just create new friendship.
