!! UNABLE TO HOST -> TRAVELING TO HK !!

I'm an enthousiastic engeering student and searching for the meaning of life! I enjoy studying maths and physics, love to get to know how people think and broaden my common knowledge!

What I love about traveling, you are enjoying live to its fullest. People help you, share experiences, give sleeping places and rides. Especially in these times, it's awesome to experience a basic, mindfull and diverse life!

My last trip was to Italy with 3 friends, we went on our own little hitchhiking competition, met amazingly nice people, practiced martial arts, partied with our hostes, had a free diner, slept in a cardboard 'hotel' and visited Roma in just 3 hours :D I was not possible to make it more crazy than it was!

In the end of the summer semester I went to visit my studyfriend in Marseille, drank a lot of wine, good ones! Hiked through the hills of Cassis, abseiling and stuff!

From august to november I travelled around the world in 80 days with an electric motorcycle we build at the university. This was an incredible journey!

I have more photo's on my instagram account, check it out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been enjoying live for 24 years now and I feel like I've got so much to discover about life. I'm trying to skateboard in more cities, meet new people while hitchhiking and share more experiences with friends and family.

I like my city, maybe a lot, maybe not so much, I don't know, haha! I would love to show you why it is nice, what kind of technology we have here and the design aspects!

Interests

As passionate as I am for my study, I do enjoy every board there is to ride. Windsurfing, skateboarding or wakeboarding, it does not matter! Science fascinates me and sociology, motivational speeches, and epic GoPro movies make my blood pumping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Deep House and Jack Johnson, relaxing music is the way to go. Party music and Big Room makes me feel alive!
Christopher Nolan is the director wich gets my mind crazy, love his movies.
Four Hour Work Week, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Moonwalking with Einstein ensure my head is filled with new ideas about life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What began as a crazy idea to make a life-time experience trip through Europe, ended as even more crazy hitchhike journey through Italy. Me and three friends went from Turino to Pisa and with a final destination of Rome, hitchhiking only! We wanted to meet nice couchsurf people in the cities, but we were (happily) forced to sleep in a cardboard 'hotel'. We also met some crazy hitchhikers whom let us stay at theire place, practice martial arts and shared wedding pictures! It was just an awesome experience which I really want to share with you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach you the beauty of physics and math! The positive way of thinking I developed and the awesome mindblowing things I discovered while educating myself on the internet!

Please learn me more about meditation, life and share me all the positive things from other countries. Because I hate it that people talk bad about other countries, there's always something to like!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share my crazyness, my world view and good stories about my travels. I would love to have good talks with you, see how you think and what makes you enthusiastic! (Be careful, I get enthusiastic very easily!)
