CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life. Being proud of what I'm doing.

ABOUT ME

I like everything that has anything to do with creativity: I studied art, play a little bit of piano, write, sing, play improvisation theatre and dance the Lindy Hop. I like letting go and acting crazy sometimes, to not think and just do whatever crosses your mind. But sometimes I like quietly reading a book. I can really get enthusiastic by beautiful words and brilliant sentences. I'm an idealist. Caring about other people, also the people I've never met, is really important for me. Nothing can make me happier than seeing someone do something for someone else, big or small. I like surprising my friends, but I also like surprising strangers, especially because they really don't expect you to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed a couple of times now and I have also had some surfers over at my place. It always was a very nice experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading a lot. I always say: I should read more. But I never seem to find the time. Which is bullocks of course. I do have the time. That's the way it goes with reading. But seriously, I should read more. I should make a habit out of reading every night before I go to bed. That's what I should do.
I listen to a lot of different music styles, but I really love: rock 'n' roll, ska, rhytmn 'n' blues, the more melodical metal, jazz.
I mostly like movies that are about people, like "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." But I also like weird art movies, Disney movies, movies where you "didn't see that coming," and movies that don't have a storyline at all, but are still brilliant (like: "Du Levande.")

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in the mountains with a friend/ friends/ mum. In your backpack enough food and other supplies to be able to live for a few weeks, walking all day, without coming across any other hikers. Dealing with exhaustion, hunger, dealing with wild animals that look dangerous or heavy wheather, but getting such nice views and experiences in return.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think by meeting new people, you can always learn something new.
As caring about other people is of such an importance to me I always hope of inspiring people caring about others, even when you do not know them and not putting your own interest first.

I'm always in for learning new languages. At the moment I would love to develop my French and German more. It's quite rusty. I'm shy about it though.
