Hi there!

I grew up in Holland and lived for more then five years in Belgium after that.
I started travelling going back and forth for quite some times (India, nepal and many European countries) and Australia.

Previously, I did a lot of work in graphic design, and studied naturopathy in Holland. I also followed courses and retreats in yoga and meditation.
I started a non profit organization with a couple of dear friends in Belgium, where we created an online platform and a permanent location in Antwerp for events around ecology, creativity, spirituality, community and health. (For those visiting Antwerp: check out www.universa.nu)

Right now I'm back in The Netherlands. I started studying for Indian classical music, and I'm saving for going back to India to continue doing that. I study for Dilruba (see my profile picture) and Vocal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm used to have a lot of travellers around me and having some sleeping over at my place at home as well. It's such an interesting way to learn about each others culture and lifestyle. I find it a much deeper experience then just being a tourist. It's an amazing opportunity!

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of world music, ethnical music, classical music, acoustic music.
And I'm kind of hooked to the series of the Game of Thrones :-/ ... For the rest I mostly watch documentaries or movies that open your mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There were so many amazing things that I've done...
Climbing the waterfalls on Samothraki Island, living in Varanasi - India, enjoyed watching the amazing night sky in the outbacks of Australia, swimming in a lake in Lithuania after a sweat lodge under the full moon, trekking in the mountains of Nepal and India... And many many more amazing things :-D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basics of Indian classical music, which is all based on the singing.
I can teach you the basic of Indian raga's on any instrument as long as you master the techniques of that specific instrument.

I can teach how to cook some Indian dishes, dutch dishes or any other healthy food stuff.

If you need any assistance with some graphic design, I'm happy to help!
Or if I can help with any advice for a healthy life style, yoga, meditation...
:-)
