ABOUT ME

I'm a talkative person, most of the time smiling. I choose to look at things in a positive way, most days, but appreciates and is often surrounded with people who tends to be a little sceptical, maybe cynical. I like to see things from different angles and I try not to be parochial. I like complexity and appreciate the small and simple things in the everyday. Great laughs are also things I value plus an ironic sense. At this moment I'm studying a master in Educational Sociology (pedagogical sociology), besides my studies I work in an organisation that works with sexual health and education and in an institution with adults who has different disabilities.

PHILOSOPHY

When we rationalize we lose the magic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly good ones so far:-)

Interests

Debating everything that seems to be relevant at the giving moment, learning about different cultures and ways of life, dancing to good music - sometimes bad. Besides that i love seeing movies in the cinema usually the heavier ones, but also appreciates a good action movie. Listening to music and expanding my music-knowledge. Looking at art everywhere in different shapes. I also enjoy to swim everywere possible - all seasons, and go for long walks.
