I'm uncomplicated, flexible, often thoughtful, friendly, and like to take some risks sometimes.
My life-style is DIY (Do it yourself); Making stuff yourself and have the experience yourself.

SOME GENERAL STUFF
I live in Delft, not Rotterdam or The Hague. Both are not awfully far (like a 10min tram-ride + 20mins of train from here), Delft is quite nice too and Utrecht is also reasonably nearby and very nice. Please don't send copy and paste requests or demand-requests. If you want to show me you read this, you can also greet me with "Moin René".

PHILOSOPHY
Ou. This is a small space for such a huge topic. So just a few notes:
I believe in the freedom of decision. You always have a choice (for instance everyone HAS time, but not everyone takes it).
I believe that a single one counts, someone has to start (vs this "What would it change, if I do xyz, but everyone else doesn't"-type thinking).
I always try to be honest and upright, especially with myself.

I don't face problems, only challenges :P

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I heard of CS, when first planning my journey through Asia, so I signed up and had a great time surfing on many couches and meeting many cool and interesting people. Having my own place now, I would really like to bring that great experience I had to some more people!

Awesome idea, awesome people!

(But tbh I'm trying to transition to be welcome right now.)

Interessi

hacker culture, electronics, (computer) science, 3D printing and laser cutting, philosophy, (quantum-)physics, cooking.

Past interests (things I still like but don't actively do anymore):
unicycling (the muddy-way), sailing, model making (trains, boats, planes), survival (read a lot, not very experienced).

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

*My 2 times 3-day trips in Norway (only tent, ski and other basic stuff which fits into a bag) where a great experience.
*Of of course the 10-month no-flight trip to south-east-Asia and back (where.isRene.info)
*Each stay in Tanzania
But there are a lot of these little moments, which are great and you can't really describe, as well.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I think I'm good at teaching (my tuition students and school colleagues always said so).
board & card games, programming (& other computer-stuff), philosophy, a lot of school-stuff (except languages), cooking, electronics...
I can also repair a lot of stuff :)

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

A good meal; I love vegetarian/vegan cooking!
I also have a few interesting travel anecdotes to share :D
