CURRENT MISSION

Make CS an enriching element of my life, get to know new people. Offer and receive good old hospitality and kindness in a modern way

ABOUT ME

As a single daddy I live, part of the week, with my three lovely daughters in Amsterdam. Twins of 20 years and a 14 year old wonder.
In May 2012 I traveled to China (Beijing) with daughter Zara.
Twin sister Isis visited Egypt with her mother in March. 2012.
I am in love with my beautiful city of Amsterdam. I like to travel and with our daughters we visited beautiful places like Thailand, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Croatia, France, Germany and Turkey.

PHILOSOPHY

Do new&exciting things, meet people, go places, exeperience&feel, so I can enjoy, learn and grow

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the formula, although I'm more than twice the age of a large part of the CS-afficianados ;-) Refreshing 'real' and non-commercial. No marketing (except the pix and descriptions ;-)
As a full time working, traveling single daddy I have a busy life, so there is not much CS but I like it
I'm always willing to show people around in my Amsterdam.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been shown lovely Stockholm by a friendly local. Such a special way to travel. Had people from Belgium, Argentina, Portugal, Australie and US over in my house in Amsterdam and stayed with a lovely couple in Budapest and with a great guy in Prague. Enjoyed a special, private walk in Prague. So much more experience and fun than a hotel.

Intereses

I'm very much interested in almost everything. I love food and (vegetarian) cooking, and I am a life time vegetarian. Museums, markets and terraces. Exploring daily life, hear stories and tell them. Try me: movies, art, politics, life

Música, películas y libros

There is not much I don't like... Really, from mambo to Bill Callahan, Bach, la Pegatina. And the same for art and movies. Modern art or renaissance: whatever! I have an open minds and hungry eyes

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a life time vegetarian, I like to cook veggie food. Although I started eating fish, to be able to have nice meals where ever I travel.
