ABOUT ME

Hi folks! I'm Quint, 29 years old and I live in Amsterdam. Music is a big hobby of mine, I play the drums and piano. I study Philosophy in Amsterdam, starting a master next year. I love reading. I’m also into Buddhism and meditation.

I’m an easy-going guy and I love meeting new people! I’m very interested in learning about other people’s lives.

PHILOSOPHY
Yeah I love philosophy, but then again thinking is also a bit overrated! Nourish the senses. Be present with your whole body. Don’t suppress anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted some people, and a 10 years ago I made a hitch hiking trip through Europe, during which I surfed a lot of couches. Right now it’s the first time since a very long time that I’m on the road again and I’m enjoying every second of it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wonderful hosts in Hannover, Berlin and Krakow!

Interests

Listening to music and playing it, going to concerts, body percussion, play pingpong, football, running, spending time on a bench on a beautiful spot in the city, partying, swimming in the Amstel (the river that flows through Amsterdam), sitting on my balcony enjoying the sky, playing games, history, politics. I also like linguistics, language is such a beautiful thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: funk, soul, jazz, groovy pop. Every kind of music with a funky beat.

And I like songs with beautiful lyrics. My favorite lyrics are from the song This Must be the Place by Talking Heads.

Books: reading Herman Hesse at the moment

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching over a giant green swamp in Canada. The most beautiful sight I've ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna learn about your country! About the history, the people, the things people find important, and other things.

I can teach you how to play body percussion :)
