About Me

Crazy.. the good kind :D . Im super impulsive and love travelling. Since im not earning as of now Im perfecting my skills of travelling cheap. My hobbies include dogs, pencil sketching, reading, dogs, running, trying out new cuisine, getting dead drunk and did I mention dogs? :P

A friend got me into skateboarding a couple of months back and im trying to get better and keep my face intact. I also practice shuffle dancing in my free time (im still a noob :D ) and Dutch.

Im always ready for a new adventure, and since im super impulsive it doesnt take much to convince me to do stupid stuff (I need to work on that :/ ).

I believe that the more people travel and meet others, the more understanding and accepting they become.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is such an amazing place and each person is a door to a whole new set of knowledge and experiences. I love travelling, but i believe that interacting with the locals (or at least someone who stays in that area) is an important part of the experience. Couch-surfing seems like the perfect way to do this.

Being a host would provide an escape from the monotonous classes and academics that ive got going on right now. But I guess at the end of the day its just a way for people to help each other and spread some kindness around (seems like we are in short supply of that nowadays no? ).

Interests

Dogs - Ive always had dogs since I was kid. I believe that a dogs love is pure and I identify with their strong sense of loyalty and camaraderie. I love all breeds equally (have 4 strays myself) and believe that instead of buying breed dogs from pet shops people should adopt strays instead cause the breed dogs will be bought anyways but the strays need a loving home (they are also more resilient to diseases.. google it :D )

Pencil sketching - I love drawing and once i started watching anime I got interested in sketching manga too. I stick to pencil sketching because have an atrocious sense of colour so never really got into coloring.

Skateboarding - This Irish buddy of mine let me try his Pennyboard.... and a lot of falls and bruises later I own a couple of boards myself. I like cruising more than tricks and im trying to get better.

Food - I like food :D

Horror movies - I was into horror since i was kid. Ive watched and read too much horror that ive got desensitized to it. Regular movies dont scare me anymore. The last decent scare that I had was playing this game called Outlast. Im on an eternal search to find new ways to scare myself :/

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- dont really have a preference, i like different things from different genres. Ive been listening to some Deephouse and EDM since ive picked up Shuffle dancing.

Movies - too numerous (too lazy) to list down all of them.

Books - all detective fiction. love those old Agatha Christie books (fav is "And then there were none").

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive slept in an Igloo in Kiruna (North of Sweden) (almost froze to death.. ) not "amazing" enough? I did the Camino De Santiago (the Portuguese route) and I did some portions of it on my Penny Board... Still not amazed? How about - I trekked solo through a forest in India in the night and was lucky to make it out (that was dumb now that I look back upon it) more "stupid" than "amazing" ? Not amazed yet????

Well your a hard person to impress then.. I really dont know :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to listen to your stories and life experiences. In return I promise to teach you skateboarding (if you dont know it already).

I am always down for crazy adventures too :D
