Overview
About Me
Hii!! So nice to meet you. 😁
Let's talk and share all the stuff what's important for the soul. Let's explore Amsterdam (when I have the time to go with you) or just chill and cook dinner together. I want know all about your trip and your life and all that you want to share.
I love to share about my roads and adventures also. Couch surfing is such a nice way to meet people and now that I started this it feels like the world is my home and everybody my neighbor. Hi Hi
Currently staying on a boat, not a house boat but more like tiny ship. It gives me a feeling of being a little nomad and I love to be close to nature and more primitive.
Adventure is out there!
Under here my personal story.
I find it always a little bit difficult to write something here i cant cut a long story short.. ha ha! I guess ive always known i am a nomad by heart but i've had some hurdles to overcome before in my life what (how it then felt) helt me back from the things i really wanted to do in my life. I've been living my life a certain way for a lot of years and i got really tired of it. It always felt like something was missing in my life. A couple of years ago i decided to invest in myself. To learn about myself, from myself, so i can truly feel and know whats good for me. I started to take therapy, ended my relationship, moved away to another city and slowly transitioned into another lifestyle, new way of thinking and feeling. Practically everything changed, my whole outlook on life. Now 5 years later i've come such a long way and its feels really empowering to experience this journey with my self. I now understand this was my journey and starting to see the beauty. I'm thankful for all i've experienced in my life. Kinda got addicted to learning and exploring the deepest part of my soul. ;) I decided that my journey has already begun and i'm living it now. What i am experiencing now is so fulfilling, connecting mind, body and soul. Learning to love myself and care for myself. Expanding my consciousness in all kinds of ways. I love to learn and feel myself evolve, i can recommend it to anybody. In fact i think i will never stop wanting to grow, it has become my life purpose. I did travel the last past years with a camper together with my ex. It was something so freeing and i'm dedicated to making this happen again. For the years to come i hope to flourish more, spreading my spiritual wings and anchoring myself more in this being i am. I love hearing about your story and how you tick. My ultimate desires: *to have a camper again in 3/4 years so i can start traveling again *live in an community, learning to be self sufficient *experience by travelling all the different cultures and nature we have on this planet. *doing work for food and shelter, i would want to do charity work. * being a good hangdrummer and sharing my music with other playing with others * sharing my magic * sharing my photography with the world * writing a book * write a blog * learn to surf * have children * contribute to earth in someway * living without money * making art * learning something new when i can ( and a lot more ) Its going to happen, i can feel it, i know it! But for now, i can host you while you are travelling and exploring. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
~Walk the Compostella de Santiago.
I have to admit that it wasn't an easy trip! I was 16 and sort of lost my way in life. But this experience brought me on track again. We started from Saint Jean Pied de Port walking right into the alps for a 12km climb. without training and brand new hiking shoes. In 6 weeks we walked threw the north of Spain approximately 23 kms per day. Everyday packing up our stuff and in evening making camp again. It was the best and the worst thing i experienced ha ha! But when we arrived at the beautiful Cathedral i was really proud and walked 800 km total. I then decided this would become a important part in my life; hiking, walking centuries old tracks all over the world. The feeling i get from just walking, being in nature, living life pure and with minimal stuff is something that makes me feel alive! I wish i could do it everyday. ;) ( ok not everyday, almost)
I'd go back somewhat 10 years later to walk a small part of the track again with my mother and brother. I loved it again. I hope to do it again someday, starting in holland with a donkey. ;)
~Going on vacation with a VW Camper Van a cross Europe
Together with my ex we bought this old VW LT 31 Ambulance and convert it into a camper/party bus. We enjoyed a couple of years going on trips threw Europe. I was immediately in love with this way of travelling and with a partner. The trips were around a months length and we were just rolling with the flow :) Meeting people, sightseeing, going to festivals and much more. After my break up i had to give the camper in the care of my ex and wished them well. My ultimate goal would be to travel a cross as much land i can with a camper. Thats a lot of country!! So starting planning this now with an aim of being on the road again in 2022/2023. Cant wait!

What I Can Share with Hosts
I do have some form of rules about deciding who i want to host and who i don't want.
I can't host every request so it is sometimes possible i can not accept. I will hope you'll find another accommodation. :) When i host it will depend on several things how it will work out. Sometimes i have time to hang out, go explore etc, sometimes i don't. Same with dinner, this is all things we can discuss when the time is there. I will not give my key in advance or let you be alone in my apartment.
For my own safety i would want to see at least a couple of references.
A profile that is filled in and tells me something about you and why you are on couchsurfing.
I am NOT here to get dates, i would mind if you approach me in this type of way.
I just want to have human to human experience, sharing our experiences, cultures, visions, goals, passions, interests and all about that.
My home is outside of the center at a lovely spot close to a lake and park.
From CS you can take the Metro 53 to Gaasperplas. The end station is my stop.
I will pick you up from there, no problem!
If you are coming from station Bijlmer Arena or Duivendrecht. You can take the Bus 47/49 to Gaasperplas (uitstap). Same story with picking you up.
When you arrive at Gaasperplas you can walk to a small shop at the square near the buses. There you can connect with FREE WIFI from the hotel nearby. That way you can always app/in-app call me :)
If you are taking the flix-bus arriving at Sloterdijk you can switch to train and tram. Train is usually more expensive. Down at the bus station you can buy a ticket and take tram 12. It will go to Amstel Station and there you can switch to Metro 53 to Gaasperplas.
From my house the Metro to CS Amsterdam will take you 25 minutes and you can enjoy all Amsterdam has to offer.
The Metro closes around 00.00 in the night but will open around 6/7 in the morning.
Tickets you can buy at the subway station/CS and you can pay with normal card/creditcard and cash (coins and paper up to 20 euro.
