About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a boat

ABOUT ME

If you think I can help you out with something, feel free to contact me!

My two best features are the fact that I'm sociable and enthousiast.
Maybe I'm a bit too critical for some of you.
I'm always open for new experiences, otherwise I wouldn't be participating :)

PHILOSOPHY

unumquemque move lapidem, omnia experire, nihil intentatum relinque
That means= Move every stone, put everything in motion, don't leave anything untouched.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope all couchsurfers keep an open mind and stay honest. That's what I'll do.
I'll meet, greet and love people and spend time together, because we're more together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in South Africa for about 12 days... The coolest thing was that I wasn't a tourist but just a new friend they met. I lived with them and got to know them, tried to discuss about the things of life that matter. To me they were the open window of another culture.
I've been couchsurfing in the north of Spain with Birgit, my best friend. We stayed with Fabien, Unai and Uñaki. Although it was europe, it felt as if I was at the other side of the world.

Interests

I'm interested in everything that catches my attention. I'd love to make sure my span of interest stays as wide as possible. Because sometimes the things that interest you the least should interest you the most, and who am I to judge...

  • culture
  • boating
  • clothing
  • snowboarding
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kind of electronic music, i love soul and jazz; I got quite some difficulties with understanding guitar...

The only books I read at the moment are moneyrelated, a part of my course at uni.. no romance for me..

and my all time favorite movie is a clockwork orange!
(movies like a scanner darkly)

A friend told me only yesterday that the things you like the most are always inspired by the thoughts you carried when you were a child. I must say that there's always a sinister, darker and absurde side in the movies that I like :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ik heb de zon zien zakken in de zee :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Things that I'm good in : Beachvolley/volley and Snowboarding and organizing (www.forbiddenfruit.be)
I also love to make clothes or jewels, but i'm not a pro :)
I like all kind of sports.
But I would really like to learn to surf.. tried it a few times, but I'm not really a natural :D

But I also want to learn to know myself and know what kind of person I can be. And out of experience I can say that everytime you meet someone new, you're eyes open up a little bit more. As you can see, everyone can help me here :)

Mexico, United Kingdom, United States
