CURRENT MISSION

Staring out of my window, counting seagulls

ABOUT ME

This world is just unbelievable ! There is so much to discover, so much to be done, to have seen, heard, felt, ... I heavily suffer from l'embarras du choix, I cannot choose, so I float from this to that and that to this. All things cultural interest me a lot, almost anything in the artistic area fascinates me, I would love to be very intensely in touch with this world and all that lives on it, but I'm still trying to live with myself, so I've got a lot of work to do :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I said above : I dream of experiencing everything, everybody and all that, and for this purpose places like Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club come in handy. (At HC I can be found by the same user name as here : Kiejoom ). And of course I welcome everybody to come and couch my place, as long as you don't come all at once :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

(So fa)r so good !

Interests

I think I can divide my interests in two large sections : an ethical and an esthetical section, both of which I try to get along with each other, not as easy as it might seem. By 'ethical' I mean to say all that concerns making myself useful, try to do my best to make this world a better place, or a least not a worse place. 'Esthetical' on the other hand more has to do with my inner self and struggles, and searching for ways to express these, and often I come to notice that these phantasmorgians (I'm quite certain this is not the correct word, if even a word at all, but I can't think of anything else now :-)) clash with my more outward bound ideals. Hm, very confusing ... :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Morocco made me discover Paul Bowles, I liked him a lot a lot. And recently I got to know the not so well known Dutch writer Belcampo and I adore him !

I'm fascinated by arts, modern arts, native arts, surrealism, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of these things I'd rather not tell to everyone, I could maybe mention that I once bought myself peeled jellyfish, to my own astonishment, just in the supermarket around the corner ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am on this world to learn. I don't consider myself a teacher.
