Overview
About Me
So i decided to take this home and host myself some people every once in a while too... Share The world
Sometimes i like to pretend im busy, but i can enjoy just hanging out as the best too.
IMPORTANT: read my profile! There is a hidden code in it i wan't you to put it in youre request so i know u read mine.
Since a year i live in Amsterdam. I had my own pizza delivery company. Since 3 months i'm busy with starting up my own fruit-wine brewery.
I make all sorts of fruitwines from fruit left overs and waiste from the food industry. ( i separate the rotten from the good ones).
I live just outside the ring in west Amsterdam in the Slotermeer sector. 20 mins from centre.
I have a cozy 40m2 house with a nice couch, 2 person air matress and 2 person bed.
I hosted 5 people at the same time on max, and it was great fun! Only someone had to sit in the back of my trunck when we went to DiscoDancingBoogieTime hahah^^ and put a blanket over her head when the cops was on the road... :P #Adventure Time
I am self employed so have alot of free time to show you around the places where i like to go.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When traveling i find the most fun and interest when meeting up with the people.. because they represent the place for the biggest amount. Skip the shallow tourist stuff and dive into whats going on on that place.
Im not here to take youre hand to see the standard boat tour stuff and dam square redlight goosenose stuff. Its cool to see all of that ofcourse! But when u done that ill be happy to take you somewhere the places i like to bungle around..
Interests
Share me youre music interests.. ill be happy to share mine..
I like to make music with people ... it bonds.. it talks through any language. I play guitar myself and some trombone
Don't mind a late-night conversation...
Dancing boogie... like that.
Drugs are no problem for me. Smoking is cool, drinking is better^^.
Pizza! I make the best. And alot of more food..
I have love for big city's, the people, the art, the buildings, culture, the energy in night life... but I also have a big interest in the magnificence of nature and being in it.. go out in the wild and connect with the environment, survival..WILD rrrrruuuaaaarrrrg!
Oh! and if you can make me cry, from happiness or sadness...ill buy u a whole night out.
What i don't like is: IS WHEN U DON'T SHOW UP! if you have other plans or other hosts just say it.. its ok!! i change my plans also sometimes but juts communicate and dont let me hang on.
I DONT LIKE SHY PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE, unless its a way to warm up OR if you are so gorgeous that i can just watch u and start to cry from beauty without a converstation.
What i really like: DISCOBALLS = ''the code word'' i want one from 1 meter wide please..YES! so if you have one spare.. think about me ;) .... ( 35cm is cool to;)

Ofcourse i enjoy new music too but it just won't stick in my head as much as the oldies..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Edgy survival in the jungles of Laos for 5 days, during a 6 month travel. Had to kill a snake, missed a kill on a deer.... got lost because one of us lost the Bajonet from his ak47 what was given by his father for his 14th. No food.... water from the river and..10 leeches in my right sock every 5 minutes causing a pool of blood in my shoe.. But! we came back on track on the road of mystification... we found the beauty of the pure jungle by all means... magnificent plants, trees, rivers, creeks and creatures.. sounds ive never heard before... butterfly's paring with thousands flying around eachother while im washing myself in a cool creek.... powerfull, remorseless, fullfilled... no needs.. the jungle IS! It make's u appreciate all we have and disgust it at the same time.
Bungee jump on Sziget
Visit the ancient tombes of the great Egypt Pharaoh's.
Spend a week on a non populated island in Cambodja on my own tour.
Walked trough Siem Reap temple complex.
Teach, Learn, Share
I had pizza delivery service myself.. so i can teach how to bake a good pizza from scratch.
I could learn you how to waiste as les fruit as possible while making wines u never tasted before and save around 300 euro's on alcohol a year.
My story's. Philosophizing, Making music together, dance, sing, laugh and cry for beauty.
