ABOUT ME

I'm a enthusiastic, reliable young man who is addicted to travelling. I've done some travelling in South-East Asia and ever since I'm hooked. My dream is to see all the countries in the world before I leave this planet.
In september 2011 I started studying cultural anthropology on the university of Utrecht. I really enjoy this but unfortunately I won't be able to travel for the next three years. Because of this I would like instead to join the couchsurfing community so that I'm still able to explore some new places while I'm studying.

Interessi

I'm very interested in human beings and how they fill in their lives. I love science in the broadest sense and love talking about it. My personal hobbys are playing the guitar, piano and drums. I also love sports, especially tennis and football.
I don't like materialistic, narrow-minded people that are waisting their precious life time chasing money to buy stuff they don't actually need. I also don't like greedy corporations (oil company's, banks, insurance companys etc.) and the people that work for them.
What I do like are people that are concious about what they do and understand that our planet needs some cultural transformations if we as a human species want to survive the next generations. This sounds maybe a bit weird but people who share my view know what I'm talking about.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Last year I went to Norway to visit some friends that I met in Vietnam. This was a great experience because they showed me the real Norwegian culture, which I would have never seen if I was just a tourist. This gave me the idea to join couchsurfing, since I think this is the perfect way to really acknowledge the culture and the local lifestyle.
Another experience that is still vivid in my mind was to help building a school in poor Cambodia. I only did some small stuff so I do not deserve respect whatsoever, but for me it was a life-changing moment. It was there that I realised the world is such a unfair place, and I want to use all my energy to make a difference, no matter how small it is. This was also the reason I started studying anthropology. By understanding human nature and culture, one day I might be able to make some real differences.
Peace and Love
