CURRENT MISSION

Improving myself and the world around me, and enjoying this everlasting journey.

ABOUT ME

I see myself as patent, caring for others, spontaneous, curious and optimistic. I just to study history, so I like most things related to history, and now I mostly study political science and psychology. I also started Jui jitsu a few years ago and I am always trying out new things. At the moment this is learning Salsa and Russian. I am currently studying in Germany, so I am also improving my German. lastly I am also working on improving my massage skills as a sort of side hobby.

PHILOSOPHY

Always be honest and be open to new experiences.

An open-mind brings much more pleasure in life.

Respect others and expect the same from them, avoid the people who don't respect you.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to weekly meetings in my hometown Leiden. I went on a two trips to East-Europe during summer where I couchsurfed a lot and I while in Berlin I started hosting too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have started couchsurfing for a couple of days in London, which was great and made me want to couchsurf more, which I did. I also go to weekly meetings in my hometown Leiden. I hosted a few times now and I offered an emergency couch to somebody, but he had already found something so we went to have a drink instead.

Interesses

Because I am a History student, I like most things that have to do with history. I especially like to go to places that have an interesting background and see with my own eyes what has become of the place.

I like cooking, especially if there are other people eating with me, or helping me to make something special. Of course I also like to eat it. I don't consider myself to be a great cook, but I can make some things very well and I am always open to learn new recipes.

I like almost every kind of music, usually depending on my mood.

I like to travel, as most people here do and I am getting used to travel alone, which makes it easier to learn new people. I also like to travel together, because you have somebody to share your experiences with.

I like to drink good beer and I want to try a special beer in every country that I visit. Last year I found a good moment to drink one of my Westvleteren 12 (true beer lovers know this one), which was really nice.

I like good music, and there is a lot of it in the world. Since I like to play my Djembe, African music is among the music I like.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I have a very wide music range, but most preferred is the music of Queen, Phil Collins, Golden Earring, but also bands such as Volbeat, Linkin Park, and the (mostly harder type of) electronic music such as Major Lazor and Knife Party, among many others.

I read a lot of history books, both for my study and in my spare time. I also like to read other educational books, because I think it is very nice to have a lot of knowledge on different things. Reading liberates the soul and gives you insight you otherwise might not get.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Hiking for 10 days in Sweden with my brother and one of his friends in 2009. Too bad there were a lot of tiny mosquito's, that really changed our plans and made staying outside our tent a nightmare. This October we will do it again.

Hitchhiking to Berlin last year just before Sylvester (new year's eve) with a friend.

Traveling around Europe and seeing my biased prejudices acquired from media being shattered.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I would like to learn the German language even better than I already do, while staying in Berlin. Besides that I like to learn Russian and Spanish.

I also like to learn horseback riding and to cook foreign dishes!

I am a English tutor for high school students and I can also share my knowledge of history as well as teach some dutch. I can also give some beginners tips for self-defense and Ju-Jitsu. I also like to practice my massage skills.
