Overview
About Me
Hello, I'm Peter Paul. Generally speaking, I'm a happy, upbeat person who likes to laugh and make people laugh. I consider myself as a person without hobby's, although a lot of my friends tend to fight this opinion. They mention the amount of bikes I own or my commitment to the 'environmental cause' and I have to admit that these are things that make me happy. My real hobby is probably humans, as in: the thing I like the most is being surrounded by people I like. I'm not sure what else to say in the 'about me'-section, but I can list some facts or opinions to give an impression of what Peter Paul is all about.
-I sometimes say I'm a vegetarian, which is a lie cause sometimes I eat meat (which would make me a flexitarian?), especially when it's from a dumpster (which would make me a freegan?). I resently stopped buying dairy products to make up for this (which makes me a hypocrite?).
-I like to listen to music at a louder volume then most people
-I think travelling by bike is cool
-I'm a bit selvish when I'm tired
-I don't do spell checks (I read somewhere that making spelling mistakes makes you seem nicer, I dont know how this works.)
-My roommates are awesome. So are my friends. And family. Sometimes. Just kidding.
-I've been on couchsurfing for 10 years now.

Music, Movies, and Books
I didn't have a favorite book for years since I forgot about a lot of books I read. Sometimes I find out it's the second time I read a book only after 50 pages. But then I descided I need a favorite book for this kind of situations, where you need to have a favorite book. So:
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell (you know, the guy who wrote 1984 and Animal Farm).
About the book (thanks to wikipedia):
Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp's perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Weird question, what's this about..
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to do some basic maintainance on your bicycle. Also, i'm not a good cook, but I can teach you how I make some of my favorite dishes. Like a-lot-of-pasta-with-a-lot-of-vegetable (vegan). Or wrap-stuffed-with-vegetable-and-cheese (now also available without cheese (vegan)).
What I would like to learn is how to have more self-discipline. But maybe I won't feel like doing that when we meat (not vegan, haha.).
I would love to share some smiles, food, and beers.
