About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For the 2nd time in my life I am making a long journey around the world. Which will bring me to South and North America, Australia and Asia. The goal is not too see as much as possible but to meet people from different backgrounds. Currently in Manila Philippines

ABOUT ME

*currently travelling in Australia so unable to host*

Hoi,Hola,Hi,Hallo, Aloha
I am a outgoing, friendly, adventurous,optimistic and openminded guy I am a real gemini, like to be around people and often want to be the centre of attention (in a positive way). And always open to meet and see and experience new things.

I like cooking (Spanish, Latin, Asian, italian amongst others) dancing (Latin, electronic) partying, playing squash,hiking, watching movies, socializing; and meeting people from around the globe are other things I enjoy very much!

Ciao

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem: life by the day, enjoy this day as it your last day of your life.

Have respect for other people and threat them like you want to be treated.

And always go to be bed and wake up smiling

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first came in contact with CS in Cambodia, but it wasn`t through the CS organisation. A friend of a friend of a friend, offered me a place to sleep. She showed me around in Phnom Penh and was so generous to me without needing anything in return. (Something I didn`t experienced before) Or actually just one thing: To tell her about holland, the dutch culture and share my travel stories.

After I returned home I came across the CS-website and I decided that I wanted to share and give the same experience with other people like I had in Cambodia.

So ever since I have hosted multiple people and (almost) always I have met wonderfull people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Malaysia: With 2 other travelers and a boatsman, we went out on the sea for 300M, close to the most beautiful island in the world; the Perhintians. After which the boatsman stopped his engine and we were lying there on the boat watching the stars and only hearing the waves bouncing against the small boat in the middle of the night.

Although I knew those people only for a day or 2, it was like we knew each other our whole life. Because we shared the same Amazing experience; the feeling of Freedom. It is a feeling I often have when I meet other 'travelers'.
