About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have fun

ABOUT ME
I like organising events to invite and enjoy friends or doing outside activities with friends. I try to have few friends who I know very well, and share anything and everything with.
However couchsurfing has brought me something else. Meeting people who live their life in a totally different way. It places things in perspective, and are always joyful experiences. For example surfers I hosted were freaked out by the amount of cheese we eat, and noticed things in my small City Delft which I hadn't noticed myself after 8 years.

I'm also in love with sailing, especially as a form of travel. I did trips like this in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Morocco.

I'm very open-minded, truly enjoy my life, and try to be kind to everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Determinism is compliant with existentialism. Free will is an emergent property of a complex system.

O and the other thing. Truly live, and let live, in happiness, because that's all there is.
