About Me

I'm a relaxed and easy-going person. I love surprises, to explore the earth and meeting people. At the first impression I can be a bit shy but when we get to know each other I can be very direct.
I studied Landscape architecture . In june 2015 I quit my job to travel trough Asia and New Zealand for 8 months. Now I'm working as a playground designer for a small engineering agency. Also I bought an old house from 1900 which I'm renovating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is about meeting people and realise that, alltough they live on the other side of this planet, we are still very alike. I met so many people while travelling that could be my very best friend if only we would live closer to eachother. Maybe if world leaders should surf eachothers couch there wouldn't be wars anymore. ;)

I really enjoy Moloko, Bjork, Tori Amos, the Knife, Alt+J. Florence and the machine, Jack White, the Cure, Kate Bush and many more.
I read a lot.
I really enjoy historical novels like Ken Follet's pillars of the earth.
My favourite movies are from pixar ;). But I also enjoy arthouse films like good bye lenin, moonrise kingdom or amelie. And everything that Tim Burton made or features his wife Helena Bonham Carter.
