ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Moniek, 36 years old and I live in the north of Holland in the nice medium-sized student city Groningen. I sell new and second hand clothes on the internet. During the summertime I sell ice-creams in a cute little Italian ice-cream van and that's an awesome job. My two passions are making music and photography.

Studies are not my cup of tea. I used to study psychology, but nowadays, with all those loads of information it's so much more fun and easy to be an autodidact.

A "real job" isn't something for me as well. It will crush my spirit eventually, even when it's a nice job. I always have several little jobs which provide me more freedom.

Likes:
* Summer/bounty islands
* Stuff from the 60's/70's
* Cuddly animals, especially cats
* The smell of summer rain and fresh bread
* Myths and Fairy Tales
* Flea markets
* Candles
* Offering help to friends and getting help from them
* (Video) games
* Rainbows
* Thrills
* Kids (well, most of them)
* Poker
* Black licorice and other candy
* Sushi, Indian, Thai and Italian food
* Music, especially (post)-rock, ambient and electronic music
* Underground parties

Dislikes:

* Getting up early
* Over-consuming
* Hypocrisy
* Fakeness
* Mooching and wanna-hook-up-CS'ers
* New housing estate
* Overcrowded places
* Injustice
* Coffee
* A combination of stupidity and arrogance
* Narrow-mindedness and problems involved with it, like discrimination
* Every problem caused by money and power
* The sound of tooth brushing

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering a place to sleep and getting places to sleep elsewhere is the best way there is! Exchanging couches is better than using money in my opinion, much more fun as well.
