ABOUT ME

I love making music. I make mostly funkhop, 90's boombap hiphop combined with funk. I'm a MC in a hiphopfunkband (SkunkFunk) and i produce beats with a MPC-1000. I often sample the jazz/soul/funk/blues music. My biggest passion is freestyle rap, which means to improvise about anything. I play a little bit of gituar, alt-saxophone and i love to beatbox.

I'm into backpacking and discovering the world. I've been backpacking for a year in Australia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar and Malaysia. This trip was so amazing! I met hundreds of inspiring people. Some friends back home asked me when i came back: ''How was your vacation?'' ...haha and i was like ''it's not a vacation, it's a whole experience''

I got my advanced PADI certifiate and i love to dive (i saw a whale shark from 5 meter long at 2 meter distance in Koh Tao, whooopwhoop!).

I'm free-lance life-enjoyer! I was a supervisor of people with a psychiatric background and/or drug history for like 9 ears. I gratuated in psychology as a trainer and coach for students that don't know what they want to do after their studie. I lived for a half year in Curacao for my internship employee- and organisation psychology as a trainer- and coach. I developed a new musical-psychological training as an application on the ART (Agression Replacement Training), called MOZART (M.O.Z stands for Muzikaal Onderdeel Zelfexpressie, which means Musical Component Selfexpression).

I trained the participants in social-cognitive skills, anger control and moral reasoning, but at the same time they had to make a hiphop track.

PHILOSOPHY

To put my philosophy in this small explanation box, is asking for misinterpretation. You can ask as many question you want and i will answer them honestly.

But to relate my philosphy on couch-surfing: I believe the soul gets formed by new experiences. That's why i have the urge to look for new adventures. I love to meet new people and my experience is that you don't have to know someone for a long time to get in real contact.

So a close-line: ''If you give some sugar, you'll get some candy back ;)''

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you're saying: ''hey there! you can sleep at my couch!'', I'll automatically say: ''hey there! i'll serve you while staying at your house!''

Doing the dishes, cleaning or whatever you want. I'll give something back.

I think:
-Who really wants will search for a possibility, those who don't are looking for a reason.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed on a couch from a woman @ paris! Lovely experience! The day when i woke she said: ''Oew, i'm a bit late for work so i got to go ... can you close the house when you leaving? travel save! bye!'' ... There i was ... alone in house ... I was like: Wauw.... I admired her faith in people so i went downstairs and bought some flowers and a bottle of wine with a card: ''Thank you for the faith'' and i left.

I also have been hitch-hiking with my mate and slept at houses of unknown people. All the time: great unique experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

When you bring some people in contact, there will be an interaction, at least communication. If you're looking with the right eyes and listening with the right ears, you always can learn (or teach) something.

I think it's not a coincidence we're born with 2 ears and 1 mouth ;).. haha.
