About Me

I prefer spending my money on a night out with my host over spending it in a hotel. I think I know how to behave as a decent guest, but please express your expectations if you have any. I can entertain myself - you're welcome to be my tour guide but only if you want to.

The pictures section might hint a bit about my personality.

CURRENT MISSION: globalize my network of friends with large couches

PHILOSOPHY: Visite en vis blijven drie dagen fris (google translate will fail)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing drinks, food, couches, stories, juggling tricks and laughs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE: The best holidays I had I was couchsurfing avant-le-lettre. On CS it's easier finding a couch to surf.
Been meeting, hosting and surfing with experiences from ok to excellent.

Interests

Art, especially the mathematical kind. Tilings, botanical gardens, biking, water sports, weird parties, language, beer, philosophy, and maybe you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life gets more interesting when you know there are 17 symmetry groups.
No, I'm just bragging.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are new at CS, I can teach you how to get a couch, for example mine:
1
Complete your profile, present your self and show your eyes. Don't wear sun glasses in pictures, silly.
2
Get references and make friends by hosting people.
3
Plan your couch request ahead. I don't like last minute hosting.
4
Look for a host that fits your age and language.
5
Read a hosts profile carefully and personalize your request.
