Overview
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.

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.
