ABOUT ME

Well, you will just have to find out I guess. But, as a starter: 28, male, sporty (windsurfing, cycling, running, badminton, ultimate frisbee & climbing) and a wannabee drummer. I spend most of my days researching eye-hand coordination in a neurofysiology lab.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I live by some wonderful elaborate philosophy, but I won't write it all down so I don't see all the inconsistencies. I don't think there are many catchy one-liners that grasp any phenomenon accurately, and I certainly don't have one that summarizes my personal philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By providing a couch and sleep on other people's couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got to know some people by hanging out with couchsurfers, but actually never couch surfed myself or provided a couch yet.

Interests

Listening and playing music (I host a radio show, Beetje Melk), movies, doing sports, women, men, nature, programming, psychology, human madness, human greatness, visual perception, gaming, economy, politics and every other big and little aspect of this world.
Yep, you will have to do your best to bore me!!
