About Me

I'm a musician. artist, pianist, traveller, creator, cycler, reader, meditater, friend, explorer, languagelearner, enjoyer.

After going to a democratic school for two years, I'm ready for the world! From october I will travel through the beautiful continent of Europe (and beyond) for I don't know how long.
My dream is to live in a van with a piano in it , travel the world and make and share music with people everywhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, one of the best things of travelling is meeting new people. That's why I love to stay in hostfamilies. I think it's great to discover a new place through the eyes of someone who actually lives there. The amazing adventures, conversations and friendships that come from being this way make me feel very happy and alive!

Music, Movies, and Books

There a lot of musicstyles that I love. From Mozart to Wham! and from Elvis Presley to John Talabot. I would love to share music with you and learn to new learn music.

My favourite movie is (same as a lot of travelers here) Into The Wild. The story of Chris Mccandles has certainly sparkled my inspiration to travel!

I really love to read. Beautiful stories like Alice in Wonderland & (yes) Into the Wild, inspirational books from authors like Tony Robbins & Napoleon Hill and Spiritual books from masters like Eckhart Tolle & Shenryu Suzuki.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In june 2018 I worked as a volunteer at the Living Village Festival (https://thelivingvillagefestival.org/).
It felt like coming home. It was an amazing week full of adventure, making music, doing shows, working in the kitchten and making new friends. It showed me that life could be much more and gave me new trust and inspiration. I believe in paradise now!

Teach, Learn, Share

Music!

What I Can Share with Hosts

When staying with other people I always consider how I could contribute. I can help in the household, make music, play with children (if there), cook and most of all just be there as a person. Have good conversations so that we can learn from and inspire eachother to make life richer than it already is!

I DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL, HAVE NEVER DONE SO AND WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. IT'S OKAY IF YOU DRINK, OF COURSE, BUT I WILL PROBABLY ORDER A COLA OR TEA WHEN GOING OUT :D.
