About Me

Hello, and welcome! How nice- you managed to find me in my sweet little old town :)

I am an independent computer artist, making fun interactive projects which I show around the world (see www.lievenvv.com if you are interested).
Lately, this has brought me to many hotels (*and* introduced me to many great people!) and therefore I have not been very active on CS for quite a while.
Nevertheless, if for some odd reason you would like to visit Voorschoten and I happen to be home- please let me know!

Usually, I tend to be a night owl. But I do have an extra room, so we'll work things out.
I love listening to music whether it is reggae, electronics, jazz, etc. I can enjoy a video game, a computability theory problem, some sunshine in the park, some beers with friends or a movie in my home cinema.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like (probably) most people here, I just love to hang with the locals ;)

I have mattresses and stuff, so let me know if I can help you out. Just hope that I am in myself :) It would be nice to have your company!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have hosted one guest and two long term guests/housemates, and I have surfed with a couple of hosts who were all very, very nice indeed!
I would love to host more, but I am often abroad myself - plus my hometown does not appear to be quite as popular as, say, Amsterdam ;)

Interests

Music, high-tech computer stuff, big soundsystems, traveling, festivals, coffee, video projectors, staying up and sleeping in, curries, picking the guitar without much skill, programming crazy interactive stuff!
