About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to become more professional in making peanut butter sandwiches.

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back and honest person. I go with the flow as long as it goes in the right direction. I am not picky about where I sleep, but I prefer not to sleep in the bathtub or garbage bin ;).

At this moment I want to travel as much as I can and meet as many people as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop exploring

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a lot on my last trip through Europe two years ago. Since I am now working on the beautiful island of Elba, I don't have so much time for travelling to new places at this moment. Once I will have the time again this winter, I will go surf again.

Interests

I love outdoor sports, cooking, enjoy drinking a glass of beer or wine while listening to music and good company / conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of movies really, though only when the actors are doing a good job. Music is the same, although I tend to listen to a lot of "relaxed music" lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Latest big moment in my live is that I decided to quit my job in Amsterdam to live my dream and enjoy freedom. Since I have done that I feel reborn. I finally have time to enjoy the city I live in, spent time with my friends and family and go travel again.

To fall asleep outside in the mountains under the stars with nothing more than a sleeping bag, the warmth of a bonfire and a glass of whiskey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer good conversation and I am willing to talk about anything. Most important thing while traveling is to share and exchange views on the world. Next to that I love to help out with cooking. Doing the dishes? No problem.
