About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building towards a stable set of intercultural competencies that I hope to apply as much as possible through, work, leisure and travelling!

ABOUT ME

I think my friends would say that I'm somewhat outgoing and fun to be around. But on the other side I always listen to them when they have something on their minds. I'm good in discussing problems and always ready to listen and argue about subjects in every direction. I can be really good at arranging things. When I want something done, I do everything to achieve my goal, but in a positive way. I'm greatly against violence and can almost be friends with everyone. I'm interested in other people and their stories/views of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Relativism, social constructivism.

"Everything will be allright, even if it won't"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted travellers invariably outside Couchsurfing, but the current issue is that I don't have a permanent place of residence and room for hosting. On the other hand I participate in Couchsurfing through visiting events in cities I visit and staying with people when I really want to discover a certain city or culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a couchsurfer in Bangalore, India. One of the friendliest people I've ever met! Furthermore, I have travelled in Ukraine, where I stayed with local residents for 2 weeks. Some of the people I have met up again during a research trip, amazing people!

Interests

Things that I really enjoy are making and listening to music. I love to go to concerts, dance nights out and festivals. Next to the music I like soccer, cycling and traveling, although I haven't seen much of the world yet. One of the most important things in my life are other people, friends and people who could become friends or are just nice to meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost every music style has got some good songs and artists, from hip hop to electronic and from rock to singer-songwriter I just love 'good music'. I adore reading books or watch a good movie, as long as they stand for a new idea and provoke thoughts. Currently rading, as many others, the game of thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling India alone for 6 months were I kinda stumbled into the 'Kumh Ba Mela' in Allahabad in my first week, where to some reports the biggest human gathering ever took place!
