CURRENT MISSION

New passion cooking! Learning and enjoy the city with friends and you!?

ABOUT ME

Most of all I like to go out with friends, drink beer, exploring pubs and clubs in Amsterdam. Good talks about life we have then also off course.
I recently work @ an organic catering company, making sushi:) I am also Cameraman and video-editor. I filmed for animal and nature organisations and tried to make a living of it, which for 1 year was the case:). I like photography, especially when on vacation in the mountains, hiking. I am also interested ecological lifestyle and practice it by re-using plastic packages, paper, fixing instead of buying new stuff, sharing food instead of throwing away, cycling and no car etc..

PHILOSOPHY

I am focussing on leaving the word 'not' and create opportunities instead of saying what is 'not' real.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like company from abroad, learning from other cultures and get new insights. I am easy in sharing my space and let people feel @ home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my former house I hosted a few times and I had some really good experiences, one guy even stayed for 6 days! I was a guest a few times and I loved to see how friendly people are, sharing their space.

Interests

Goa music, trance, Jazz and classical music. Cycling on a fastcycle and mountain hikes in Alps and pyrenees.. Movies in the cinema, photography.
I am interested in the ecological lifestyle, to be responsible for you own life and if possible growing your own food instead of others doing for you for money.
I really like to practice my languages with cs'ers, especially german and french, because it is always in english!
Talking/filosofing with friends about life experiences and finding the essence in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote my own travelling book and published 4 copies. It is about a journey of 6 weeks on my bike from Einhdoven Holland to the pyreneees (France) when I was 17.
I went to Valle de Sensaciones in spain, a real peaceful place where you can learn about selfsufficience, music, creating art and wood etc. really great people!
My solo hike in the Dololmiti for a week was amazing, the most beautiful mountains in europe!
