About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy things, carry out plans, test myself and enjoy some more

ABOUT ME

My mind wanders often. I get crazy ideas and try to complete them by talking, asking and doing. My current plan is to stay in Paris for a week, and not having to pay for my stay or travel. in the meantime i hope to meet many people, enjoy nice stories, and just having fun.

I don't know if my plan will work, but i'm sure going to try.

PHILOSOPHY

this is a hard one, because i have many.
most importantly: think outside the box

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this couchsurfing experience, but i'm planning to show some people my city, Utrecht. I can also show some things in Amsterdam if needed, and mostly i'll try to show the people that want to come the unusual bits of info.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none at all!
well, i've shown some foreigners around, but no couchsurfing up until now.

Interests

I like talking about all different things, what makes people tick, what is someones passion, and mainly, whats their story.

and the more hobby-like things are playing computer games, inline skating, practising yoga, going out, movies (with good stories), dancing, painting, writing, and more :)

Music, Movies, and Books

music: from lady gaga to tsjaikovski. electro to jazz. I just don't like r&b that much, or things like hardmetalcorestuff.

Movies: my favorite movie is une question d'amour. (i like that kind of arthouse stuff) and i enjoy just watching movies to relax.

Books: The picture of Dorian gray, english books with a good sense of humor, and i read about 2 books a month, so i'll just stop here. (i could go on and on)

Teach, Learn, Share

i have lots of knowledge to exchange, practical skills like painting and writing stories to more mind-bending life-advice in general.
i think i can learn something from anyone, so im not really looking to learn something specific.
