About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the best singing-teacher I can be

ABOUT ME

(I hope) friends would describe me as:
witty, intelligent, chaotic, (too) honest, authentic, trustworthy, crazy, sensitive, stylish and messy.

I'm a singing teacher (students are mostly adults around my age) and I also work in an organisation that's making concerts for children.
I love my life in Amsterdam more and more. It's a wonderfull city and I have lovely people around me.

I have to say that the amount of requests is overwelming and as I haven't got internet at home, only my phone, it's hard to reply to everybody. This from the 16th of June till the 18th have a CS couple in my house so I'm not possible to host anyone else.

PHILOSOPHY

I work to live, not the other way around

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

From August I will start a part-time singing education in Copenhagen wich will be 6 times a year, 4 days each. Looking for places to stay.
Till Okotber 2012 I'll have a big appartment (for Amsterdam standerds) where I have the opportunity to invite couch surfers. I wont be in town from 16th of july till the 6 of August so I cant help you out
during that period. As long as youre respectfull towards me, my house and my neighbours.
From Okotber I'm afraid i have to be happy if I can find a new home where I can fit in myself. You might be able to visit me under a bridge in Het Vondelpark and I think I'de be able to arrange an extra cardboard box for you ;-)

PS:I can show you the gay and straight (night)life in Amsterdam as well as everything in between :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved my holiday in Thailand, I love my house in Greece and I really enjoyed my few months of studying in Gent (Belgium).
but actually I can still be amazed by Amsterdam too. The beauty, the people, all the different aspects of the city.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher... that just what I am :-) But I can be a student too. Just not a very easy one, haha.

I'd love to learn recipies from all over the world. I don't know many Dutch recipes but I could learn you Greek once or something else.
