About Me

CURRENT MISSION

looking for a job that really suits me, I guess

ABOUT ME

random likes of mine:
long, all night talks in smokey bars with a beer or a glass of wine and a cigarillo
going to indie-concerts
good conversations, rational or irrational depends on mood and conversationpartner
movie-marathon
(shoe)shopping
addicted to any form of pasta :D
dancing in my living room
contemplating about life and people
walking in the rain with a big umbrella
to see the sun set or rise
to watch men cooking in my kitchen ;)
to discover spelling errors (dt-fouten :D)

PHILOSOPHY

I'll procrastinate tomorrow

after reading Danny Wallace's "Yes Man" I am convinced of the power of 'yes', so SAY YES MORE!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keep on hosting and surfing people's couches, and spreading the word of course!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some, and surfed some couches, had lots of 'coffee and drinks' and met some very interesting people. It really opened and still opens up my world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the look on my brothers face when I told him I had tickets for a show of his favorite band

observing people with your best friend and knowing that when you look at each other, you're thinking the exact same thing
