About Me

I'm an Ethnobotany MSc student at Wageningen University Research Centre. Music is a huge part of my life so my room is basically a studio. Lots of instruments and a big computer setup with synthesizer, midi keyboard, good speakers and amps.

As a traveller I am easygoing. I can be very self sufficient if preferred, but I am also always in for sharing time together and meeting people. My personal philosophy is that everyone is very interesting, and I can learn something from everyone. I hope to meet more amazing people and spend time in interesting places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in quite a special place, kind of like a hippie commune, that I want to share with travellers. The place is like a slow burn festival where the stages are open only sometimes and living accommodation is a lot better. The atmosphere here is wonderfull, it's a lovely community that is bursting with love and creativity and that is what I want to share with travellers. Of course I want to make friends and learn from people passing by as well, both as a host and as a traveller

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Released my music in 3 different continents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach about music and mushrooms. I love to learn about pharmacology, languages, cooking

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a surfer I'm very flexible; I can be fully self sufficient and simply appreciate the roof over my head during the night, but I also love to make new friends, hear different perspectives, learn about whatever makes you you!
