About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my masters study isn't just a mission; it feels like one indeed. But how to do so when the mind is still in the past? When the thoughts are still lingering in Cambodia, or the soul is roaming New Zealand?

ABOUT ME

Observing. Thinking. Talking. Dreaming.

I observe other people. I do not observe myself.
I think about everything, thus in general, about nothing.
I talk because words can offer help, warmth, support and appreciation when they are uttered with care.
I dream because I love nothing more than dreaming.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy consists of my interests (mostly anyway).

But 'people think they know, while they should know to think' is one saying I wish I would have come up with myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To a better world? I think big, but act small. Turning that around is one of my many objectives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had one yet! I traveled through South-East Asia, New Zealand, and most of Europe, notably the Balkan. However, I used to sleep in tents or in cheap rooms. I do not intend to travel any time soon, but now I am aware of couch surfing, you are welcome!

Interests

People.

All other things (music, books, crazy lights, sports, movies, mountains, gardens, cultures, fires, food, drinks, Batman, dancing, philosophy, or robots) serve the one and only central element of life.

People.

  • books
  • dancing
  • dining
  • drinking
  • movies
  • traveling
  • music
  • surfing
  • sports
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Here we go.

Books - 'Everything is illuminated', 'Worse than War', 'Small Gods', 'The Way of the Shadow'.

Music - African, Irish, Dutch Hip-Hop, Pearl Jam, Techno, Jazz. Anything has its merits, except R&B

Movies - 'Into the Wild', 'The Fighter', 'Reservoir Dogs', 'Adams Apples', 'Batman Begins', 'Wall-E'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, a homeless person offered me slices of bread. Why? Because when he asked me something, I did not reject him. Now that is something truly special. On a whole different level; going to Cambodia with a person whom I wasn't to familiar with proved to be one of the greatest things I have ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach people a thing or two about what happens when you play games aimed at creating a atmosphere of confusing vibrations, but I doubt it will be appreciated.
