ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Let it all out or it will eat you up inside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wanna open up my house to people who like to stay in the lovely place Groningen for a few days. And I also love to go couchsurfing by myself when I go on vacation and when I travel.
Also, I love to meet other artists, musicians and other creative people by couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in The Hague for a couple of days, when I was performing there as a songwriter on a festival.
I had a really nice time there and loved the city!

And I couchsurfed in Spain for 10 days during my vacation there in Girona. This was awesome!

And I went busking and surfing couches in Ireland and Hungary. Also a great experience!

A lot of musicians from all over the world have surfed on my couch.^^ And now I want to open up my house for more people! And I would love to surf some new couches in the future!

Interests

In my free time I like to hang out with friends and jamm' or listen too some records. I also love going to concerts, especially living room concerts. Also swimming,biking, meditation and yoga are things I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years back I participated in an international project named IslandCQ. It took place in a little village, Komárom in Hungary. In this project I collaborated with other students from Finland, Latvia and Belgium and Hungary. I followed inspiring lectures and did several workshops in theatre and the building of instruments. At the end of IslandCQ I performed at a small festival in which we presented our result from the hard work we did during all the workshops.
This was an amazing experience!

I've once been to a gig by James Vincent McMorrow. This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I'm short on words when it comes to this concert. I cried and lost my lenses.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is always something to teach and learn and share.
Lately I have been teaching myself to live more in the moment. Be there and don't think ahead all the time.
Also if you look at something long enough, anything can become interesting.

Right now I am learning to organise events, I am currently in the process of organising a musicfestival for my graduation-project.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share my love for music with couchsurfers, by jammin' and listening to some records.
Also I would love to go bikeriding together and show you the beautiful places to discover around Groningen.
