About Me

Hi there

At the moment I am travelling through Spain.

Since I can remember I have been interested in exploring new cultures, observing and understanding people. Besides this, I have a soft spot for nature, water and the relation with society. I am studying at this moment the Msc. Water systems and global change in Wageningen. Next to my study I like green entrepreneurship, debating, music and most of all smiling. I love to listen, discuss and learn from other individuals who dare to think out the box and are not afraid to express their opinion. I am trying hard to not take life too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I like to meet new people in the places that I travel. I feel that the type of people of this community fit well with me as adventure seekers, open minds and strong spirits that stand positive in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am looking to meet people that are open for friendships. I am not a discotheque guy but more in for a beer and a good story. I like to explain, share and learn from other individuals. There is no particular topic I am not interested in (except math and economics). Feel free to send me a message and explain me your motivations, tips and tricks or if you are in for a genuine conversation. My favourite hobby is smiling. So far, I have some experience in improving breathing capacity, motivational coaching and giving mindfulness training.
