CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the American way of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 years old student, and just finished a semester abroad at San Francisco. I had this crazy idea to buy a car and travel around the States for four weeks. So that's what I'm going to do, I guess.
[update] My car broke down in the desert. I'm triphopping(.com) and travelling by Greyhound now.

I love playing volleyball, rock climbing and everything else that makes life fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still searching for the thing that makes me tick. In the past half year that I've been abroad, I found out that my family and friends matter a lot to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a lot of couchsurfing experience myself. My good friend/housemate Carsten hosts people occasionally, and I loved meeting his couchsurfers.

Interests

I play volleyball and go rock climbing pretty often. I'm a bit of a geek, but try not to talk about computers in a social setting. That works pretty smooth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every year, I organize a small music festival in the Netherlands with friends. It's called FarmFest and we have about 300 visitors. We offer a stage for local bands and try to create a fun summer meeting for the local youth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am good with computers, programming and that kind of thing. I could share that. And I'm good at drinking good beers, which is something I like to share too.

Besides that, I grew up at a dairy farm at the Netherlands. I know quite a lot about farms and cows.
