CURRENT MISSION

Learn more about the world and by doing so get to know myself better, learn languages, learn how to live, find the balance

ABOUT ME

I want to learn more about other cultures and languages and meet new interesting people. There are a lot of places I'd like to visit. I am pretty open-minded and I enjoy many things. I like discovering things that are new to me, like music, sports, attitudes, food... But what I consider most interesting in life, is learning about and from other people.

PHILOSOPHY

- Do something you're afraid of every day. -
- People who fight can loose. People who don't fight have already lost. -
- I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. (Douglas Adams) -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer to show cs members around town and show them some good bars, cafes and free-time activities. I can currently host and have done so a couple of times recently. Since my apartment is small, I can only host 1 person and only in cases of emergency.

People who host me will get this (and more) in return:
I'll:
- be orderly, industrious, adaptable, amiable, grateful
- teach you some German
- cook some German meal
- share ideas, philosophies, experience, laughs
- exchange the names of favourite music artists, movies, authors, etc.
- explain something about the human brain and human cognition
- be happy to host you in Germany

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was travelling to London in summer 2010 and had a great time there. Was hosted by three members, all of which were very nice and hospitable. Was hosted several times in Eindhoven. I hosted a couple of surfers in Freiburg and had a lot of fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen two rainbows at a time - but that's maybe not really special. There are many amazing things I'd like to see/do, like skydiving or going to New-Zealand. I'd also like to do white water rafting, or ride every rollercoaster on earth. One amazing thing I've done was working with disabled persons for one year - this really gave me a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to improve my English, French and Dutch speaking skills. I could help others with their German. But there are also other things to learn and teach like philosophies, cooking, experience...
