ABOUT ME

I have a job and all that, at a university, so we can always make fun of academia together. But while traveling I enjoy writing stories. In these stories the protagonists experience and analyse the intricacies of human interaction and concepts such as friendship, intimacy and restlessness. Good literature, like a full life, needs a certain amount of absurdism.

Disclaimer: I have never published anything, so don't take me too seriously ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I provide a place to crash in the centre of Rotterdam and I know this city and the neighbouring city The Hague pretty well.

This summer I'm interrailing, as I forgot to do that in my teenage years, and I hope people are willing to offer me a good story and a bed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted travelers a couple of times, only once through coachsurfing though. Oh, and I slept in a gallery in Bruxelles once, among beautiful drawings of Ethan Murrow.

Interests

I like people, but I also like computers, which can be confusing at times as they are quite the opposites.
