About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live

ABOUT ME

I smile a lot and think a lot. I'm a freelance journalist who wants to do my small share in making this world a bit better place for all the small and neglected. Still I enjoy life. I love people. I like talking to different people and I like hearing their views about the world and experiences in everyday life. In my travels I want to get inside the country's way of life. Learn about how individuals live, learn and think. I don't just want to find sameminded people but also people who are a bit different than me. I like to challenge my own ideas and opinions. That's why CS is for me. I can experience something else than crowded tourism spots.

PHILOSOPHY

Live is made of moments. Some fun and others not. Still we strive to experience. Hopefully in the end we have more pleasant memories than unpleasant ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering couch and nice company. On my travels just my nice company.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's the best way to travel! I've had so much fun with all my hosts who I have surfed with. Through couchsurfing I can get to experience things I wouldn't otherwise have the change to. I get to learn the local way of living and meet great people. And the hosting is fun too. I can learn small bits about different cultures and have interesting conversations.
