About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world in all it's glory! Naah, just want to experience cultures, histories and mainly foods all around the world.

ABOUT ME

Well first off I'm half dutch half Somalian and am studying in the Netherlands. I love art (in every sense of the word), history, culture, fooooooood (you won't believe the stuff I've tried) and traveling.
I've traveled through a lot of African countries, so I know quite a bit of that area of the world for anyone who's interested!
Me as a person, I'm quite down to earth and for most things, spontaneous and adventurous are things I try to live up to.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm that's a difficult one, philosophy has always been something deep full of abstract concepts and theologies, difficult to grasp. But I on a personal note think that in order to live and fulfill your needs and I'm not talking materialistic needs, you need to experience life. Not just by spending a week in on the beach or visiting a museum but actually experiencing life. Go through moments, that will change the way you think, your perspective and your belief. Life changes with time and so will your philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this so the only thing I can really say is I let literally everyone going on a trip or traveling abroad know about it what it's all about.
I got introduced through a friend the same way so it works.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet.

Interests

Music (play and compose), art (theater, movie, paint and draw loosing touch of the latter two),history and culture, martial arts. I'll up date as life goes on.
And I love to cook

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - State of Africa, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Adriaan Mole series, James Patterson Series, Harry Potter Series (yes harry potter), Emergency Sex (it's not what you think haha) and many more.
Music - Acoustic, Indie, Rock and a lot of things along those lines
Movies - I generally like to follow my favorite actors and actresses but I love Indie movies and very thoughtful ones too. Not just ones that make you think from a psychological perspective - but from a artistic one too, in terms of plot, filming techniques so on and forth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood on the edge of the Victoria Falls. Seen the great migration in the Serengeti Park which runs through Tanzania and Kenya. Slept at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro (too bad i didn't climb it right? Heh age matters way too much these days) Visited for a week or so the Ngorogoro Crater in Tanzania.
