About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be surprised...

ABOUT ME

I am me, relaxed, bursting with energy, open-minded, happy. I like beer and laughing, beaches and music, stars and wine. I am a drummer. I love making fun of things. I like good conversations, but being serious for too long makes my head hurt. I can't talk for a short time. I'm a computer scientist, but I love people. I'm a perfectionist. I am bad at making simple decisions, but I know when it's time to make up my mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now, I have surfed a few couches and had a damn good time with a lot of CSers in Melbourne. But when I get back to The Netherlands, I'll be more than happy to host people (once I've found myself a place to live, that is :) and really get involved with the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had the opportunity to surf a few couches, but met many awesome CSers!

Interests

I was never really into travelling, but now I've been to Australia and NZ I've got the travel bugs and want to spend the rest of my life exploring the world, and meeting loads and loads of people! Besides that, I love to play music (drums, percussion), love to listen to live music, watch movies, dance, sleep under the stars, read and drink.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I have been a drummer since I was 7, so I guess I can show you some nice rhythms. Furthermore, I study Artificial Intelligence, so if you want to know what the hell that means, come and have a chat (but only if you have time...). And I know it has something to do with computers, but don't come to me when your pc's broken because I know nothing about them! Besides that, I can teach you some weird dance moves, show you how to do a split or jump over your own leg..

I love learning how to play music instruments. So if you play music, whatever it is, let me know! Then, having been a musician for a big part of my life, I have never found a lot of time to do sports. So if you can teach me any type of sports (I especially want to get into Martial Arts and Capoeira), that would be great!
