Hard to say...I agree a lot with a Yogi-Tea message that once taught me:
"One who wants to be always happy, has to change often"
I try to go where life leads me, with open eyes and ears, an open hear, a bit crazy, respectful, loving, without too many judgments wasting my time.

To let new things encounter me, to learn, to grow, to laugh and to love, that's i think, why i'm here.

Joy is everywhere around us, just stop your thoughts for a while, open your eyes and enjoy it.

And after you've seen and felt it, share it.

For the present, i am studying jazz and popular music in Maastricht, Netherlands and bother others around me while birching the drums and kneading the keyboard of all pianos i can find.

Life is beyond complex or simple. It just is.

Now.

I try to find and allow my own pace with everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply love to share.
I love to meet people that are enthusiastic about what they are doing and love to share it with the world.
I think, I can learn a lot from all of you guys :D

Interests

Hard to break it down to a list, usually I'm constantly surprised about new interests popping up.
A few are:

- playing, creating, composing, enjoying and listening to music - alone and with others (there are drums, a cajon, a piano, several guitars and now even a Ukulele around)
- connect with people
- reading
- meditating
- going out in nature
- closing my door behind me, starting to walk and "see what happens"
- hiking
- challenge myself
- recently discovered; swimming! Wow! What a wonderful, interesting and enlightning thing to do
- Philosophy

• socializing
• music
• jazz

Music, Movies, and Books

Hui...ok Brainstorming must do it:

all kinds of music with meaning and heart and soul; Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, Frederic Chopin, Tschaikowski, James Taylor, Jason Mraz, Fink, Archive.... ok, let's just go through my music when someone's interested ;)
Jazz Fusion music fascinates me as a drummer, complex , often fast, virtuos jazz rock

Mind blowing movies like; Memento, Mr. Nobody, Inception, Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect, Prestige, of course Fight Club, The Matrix...
But also lovely/inspiring movies like; Once, Grand Budapest Hotel, Chocolat, Into the Wild, The Spectacular Now...
And I'm also a Lord or the Rings and Star Wars kid (I know, bold to mention them together...)

Oh books...Siddharta, Osho, Ken Follet, some Paulo Coelho, Dan Brown, Eckhart Tolle...tell me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2012, i walked the camino del norte, camino primitivo to Santiago in Spain and after this, the last few k's to the end of the world, Kap FInisterra. A total of about 900 kms.
A beautiful trip about meeting interesting, funny, serious, wise and last but not least "i-quit-my-job-and-start-all-over-again" people.
A trip about learning to be open to everyone you meet, being yourself (learning who i actually am!) and to refresh or reboot your mind before connecting with others.

Aaaand update: 2015 Camino take two with my lovely girlfriend with a tent, some different routes and a whole new journey!
