ABOUT ME

**I don't live in Amsterdam!**
(And I like personal couchrequests)

As everyone here, I love travelling. During my travelling I found out that I don't have to see everything that's possible, every temple, every lake. I quit climbing every mountain. The more I want to explore the culture and the daily live in those new places. I like to travel the cheap way. The best food is the food you can buy on the streets, and the best transport are the local busses, or by foot. I feel happy when I'€™m sitting beside the street eating some bread with banana in the morning.

Here's a list with things I want to do:

- Buy a bike and just start biking
- Get really good in my profession (veterinarian). Doing a good research project, or maybe even specialize in neurology
- Do the minivan thing
- Hitchhike to Berlin for great parties
- Swimming a 10km open water match
- Live in the desert for a while (with some cool people of course)
- Start a small bakery and sell cakes in the middle of Africa

If there are other crazy things I have to do, surf my couch and share your ideas.

Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

The rain won't stop you, right?

If you lose the need to wander, you belong

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to have friends all over the world. Sharing great adventures, beers in the streets, recipes. Improving my English by learning weird words, listening to stories, get new friends

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Protesting in the streets of Jerusalem, thinking you're dying while riding a motorbike in Saigon, getting totally wasted with some couchsurfers in Dubai, and three days later again in Delhi. Get involved in Indian festivals, learn how to make Nepali food. Philosophize about random questions and traveling plans… Karaoke Alice Cooper on a couchsurfing meeting in Riga, and do the same 2 years later in Delhi. I've been in churches and mosques. I slept in big villa's and on the floor in wooden houses. I enjoyed a cooking class at 5 am, and made apple pie in 10 different countries... Love it!
