Hi there! How to describe myself... Okay, here it goes! Most of the time I come across as a pretty calm guy, but when I feel at ease, I can be pretty playful and even a bit crazy. In company I rarely take the center stage, but tend to focus on the people around me. I like learning from other people, whether it's about their outlook on life, their weird habits or any other wisdom or bullshit they can offer. I like hanging around with friends or going to live music, having absurd conversations and trying new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see new places from a local's perspective. And of course to give other people the chance to discover the beautiful city of Groningen!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: pretty eclectic, but mostly playful music (funk, ska, reggae, caribbean, jazz, you name it)
Books: lately I've been reading books by Ursula LeGuin (science fiction, fantasy). I love it that her books have a lot of magical aspects and I like her criticism of phenomena like sexism, capitalism and consumerism, although she can be a bit preachy. Also non-fiction on topics like spirituality and psychology.
