Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live in Holland for a while, and get a couch as fast as possible to interact with all you lovely foreigners that come and visit me!
ABOUT ME
Having screwed up 4 studies at universtity I started to work but got extremely bored doing so and finally I lived the adventure I apparently needed. In 2006 I returned from a 15 month-trip through Asia and now I sort of have my Dutch life on track; working too much and spending every spare time I have playing accordeon, singing, presenting, running, playing badminton, hanging out with friends and family.
I am a cheerful person and I am known for making hilarious jokes from time to time (at least once a year).
I am very relaxed and an easy person to hang out with.
PHILOSOPHY
'We are on this planet to perfect our experiences in order to realize that our soul existence is the highest conscience. '
Apparantly I still have a long way to go...
Beside this; 'Why not?' is something you will hear me say often but sometimes I need to be reminded.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In Czech Republic my cousin and I couchsurfed with the coolest dude in Marianske Laznje. (At that time we had never even heard of couchsurfing, nor had he!) We were on a biking trip and camped here and there. Then one day we ended up in this amazing city, also known as Marienbad, and we did not have a camping yet and we were barbecuing in the park when this young man came up to us, became our friend and invited us over. Very wonderful experience! Thank you Vaclav, for showing me the true couchsurfing spirit!
