About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living the good life of the road

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old guy living in Amsterdam. Although I love my city ever since I was young I longed for new things to discover and do. This expressed itself in lots of hobbies and the urge to experience the whole world. I've done a reasonable amount of traveling; some with my parents, some with friends and of course sometimes on my own but I always hunger for more. This year I had the amazing opertunity to study abroad for half a year in Melbourne. Now I'm back and finishing my bachelor in physics after which I'll start a master. I'm a social guy who likes to make new friends, see new things and have new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To exchange culture, stories and share experiences.

Interests

I got a lot of different interests, I myself of course have a western lifestyle but I'm really interested in other ways of seeing the world. I'm also intersted in economics, polotics and physics. Basically I'm just interested in how the world works and different theories about it.
