CURRENT MISSION
...finishing this "silly" profile and finally go to sleep...
More long term.. having more quality time in life, time for making more music, more beautiful walks, meeting new nice people, ...experience the variety of things you can do with your life.

ABOUT ME

As a person I am rather quiet than loud, rather listening than speaking, but i like meeting interesting people from all over the world, exchanging thoughts, partying together. I used to think that everyday you should do something extraordinary or exciting but though i still like getting kicks, I think that I've become somewhat less restless, I also discovered the joy of relaxing...

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy my time here on earth in the way that I think you should get all out of life that is to be found. All the special things in broad daylight and also the uneasy stuff in the darker corners. Life is all about experiencing and getting surprised. Always curious for the things still yet to come.
Apart from that I think it is important you are conscience about how your behaving has an impact on al the persons, animals and situations around you. Life is not without engagement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The few people I hosted were really nice and respectful, good and interesting talks, nice moments.
No experience as a traveler so far.

Interests

I'm a musician. I play bass in 2 bands called "In-kata" and "Flying Horseman" and when i get to it i also compose tunes on my own.
Furthermore I enjoy listening lots of music and going to concerts. I realy like what I'm doing, but a few times a year I really have to flee from all this being busy, that's the moment I travel, and I love it!!
I think the rest of my time goes to friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Palenque national park (Mexico) by night alone and slept on top of the temple of inscriptions with screaming monkeys around me..

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach or share my knowledge about building all kinds of stuff: life, (making) music, music instruments, furniture, houses, or anything else in wood, playing bass, healthy food (but don't expect a hero in cooking)
Learn: I feel constantly the need of wanting to learn new things, and my field of interest is very wide, so surprize me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a host:
Talks that go further then small talk
A matrass or a big couch to sleep on, blankets and pillows if necessary.
For musicians: My experiences as a professional musician. an equipped rehearsal room where you can make as much as noise as you like (only if not occupied by other musicians or bands)
For those who want to build something during their stay: an equipped working shop (only if not occupied)
Guided tour in town

As a traveller:
Talks that go further then small talk
My knowledge about music and instruments, healthy food, building things, life, traveling, ...
Although I'm not an amazing cook I can definitely cook a good meal for you.
If you have small things in your house that doesn't work anymore, I can most probably fix it. (...no, I'm not going to rebuild your kitchen! :)
