About Me

I am. Just a fleeting wave in an infinite sea of time. I love adventure, meeting people, experiencing different cultures, being in nature, sharing music and sharing food. Always developing myself through learning and practice. I think mostly about the question of how we can create a sustainable good life for every being on this small planet. Will technology be the answer? Let's philosophize.. No idea is too crazy.

I also like to stop thinking so much and do some yoga, meditation, jamming, trekking, swimming, camping, biking or stargazing. I'm just going with wherever this wonderful life takes us.

I have a modest room in a renovated office, but I made a really nice spot out of it and I want to share it with anyone who needs a space. I know that many guys on couchsurfing are looking for hookups, I'm not. This is a safe space for women, men, LGBTQ, disabled, old, young, anyone! I am close to Delft center and I have an extra bike you can use. I'm studying a master's degree so I may be busy sometimes. Still, I'm really looking forward to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because a roof is such a basic human need, and I have enough of it. I feel that if we would all share what we have, just a little bit, everyone will have enough.

Interests

My biggest passion is music. I love listening to music and discovering new styles, going to and organizing concerts, and djing and producing music. Apart from that I'm interested in science, arts and chess. I also like sailing, skiing, biking, trekking, camping and field hockey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Hong Kong I went on a night hike with a friend to a peak where we had a view over all of the city at night. It was truly breathtaking

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories, music, food

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always up for good fun and laughs. I can offer to share experiences and adventure. Apart from this I'm happy to do some work around the house, clean and of course cook a meal.
