About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going for the greater green good. Help our world, including all humans. And bake apple pies.

ABOUT ME

I like apples. Especially the green ones.

Also a hardworking, open minded, young, energetic, creative (tree)hugger with wanderlust.

PHILOSOPHY

Atheism, with a pint of Buddhism for good measure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not been using Couchsurfing much, mostly because I was ashamed for not being able to host anyone. But now that I have my own place, I can host people (assuming my work schedule allows for it).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None that much so far.. Very new at this, although many friends suggested already I should give it a try.

Interests

Lots of things! To think of a few; cooking, snowboarding, aikido, diving, graphic design, photography (you can check out my website), swimming, football, running, mountainbiking, card & board games, travelling, hiking..
