CURRENT MISSION

Gaining experience, knowledge, having fun and inspiring others.. Make the world a better place

ABOUT ME

Hi!

My name is Tim Wiechers, I'm from The Netherlands and I'm 26 years old. I like many things and have many interests. The biggest ones are traveling, training parkour, training fitness, b-boying, and making music.

Besides that I like videogames, (well, not doing that much anymore btw) and I love to watch movies of almost all kinds. The music I love varies from hiphop to rock, house to dance to techno, reggae to drum & bass to nu-jazz or even from like the 50's to now. I even like making music on my own with the guitar, or write some poems or rhymes. I also freestyle a bit. When I write rhymes, I like to make the beats myself. Also, I love the conscious rap subgenre, and rap in that genre myself cause I like to talk about 'truth' and not about fake ass 'bitches and hoes'. That's not real, just some girl and boy thing, 'Oh look at me, I am so tough!'. A real man or a real woman rhymes about real things. Also to uplift the people, I advocate the 4 original principles of hip hop: Peace love unity and having fun. I believe we should also be uplifting and inspiring in whatever you do for our future generation.

I'm an easygoing person, though I can be very active during sports or partying.

I like to read a lot of books about 'truth' oriented topics, spirituality, science etc. Anything to educate the mind since knowledge is power.

A point of improvement I believe is that I am not a great planner and a bit chaotic. BUT on the other hand I developed my skill to improvise and get creative at random situations BECAUSE I'm not a great planner. From society's perspective, I have a bit of ADD, so I don't always fit in, but I don't want to. And I don't label myself (well, allready did but just to make it understandable). I wish for everybody to stop thinking negative if you don't fit in. I did it, didn't work. If you don't fit in, it mostly means you are blessed you think differently and can transcend. Use your unique skills.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay positive in a realistic way and get the most out of life for you, and for others. Try to be the spark that ignites the fire for others to change or rethink their situation.

We have a lot of knowledge, but where is the wisdom? We have a lot of right brain thinking, but where do we feel? When will we see that subjective experience is just as important as objective thinking? Logic only kills creativity..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you want I can bring you a souvenir from Holland. I want to share knowledge, stories and experiences, I like to have fun, learn from other people as well. I want to try to understand different cultures, and take away any prejudice. I can always help in the household, work on land, paint the house or run around naked (ok maybe not the last one ;)) in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some very nice people! So great!

Interests

Freerunning/Parkour
Sports
Games
Movies
(making) Music
Seeing other cultures
Combining spirituality with science.
Investigating truth
Hip Hop, but just making music in general with my guitar as well. Next to hip hop I like every kind of music as well, from rock to reggae, oldies, techno. You name it.
Philosophy
Having fun and joking around. I like having deep and serious conversations, but I also like to be NOT SO serious once in a while. You gotta be able to smile through all the bullshit.
Yoga: I just need to be relaxed and meditate sometimes, to silence all the mind chatter. So that's a relatively new hobby.
b-boying

Most importantly, I don't want to develope tunnelvision. So Science I combine with spirituality etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to China for a month for kung fu training.
And I just finished a part of the walking route 'Santiago de Compostella' I did a week of walking approx. 20 miles a day.

An intense ayahuasca experience.

Hitchhiked through America and Canada.

Did a Tandem Skydive at 13000 ft at Skydive Santa Barbara! That was F****** AWESOME!!

I am planning to cycle through America for charity.. See it all here.

right After the cycling I'll be working In Canada for a 10 months for a working holiday cause I got an offer I couldn't refuse.. So I'm really excited about that :)
OOh, and I have a great chance to work at a snowboarding school in Whistler :)

UPDATE ON ALL OF THIS... THE CYCLING TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING> GOT ROBBED, HITCHHIKED BACK TO FIND JOB TRIMMING WEED, GOT SEXUALLY HARRASSED, DID PEYOTE, ENDED UP IN CULT BY ACCIDENT TOOK A BUNCH OF DRUGS LIVED FOR SHORT PERIOD ON THE STREETS AND IN NATURE< TOOK ACID, ETC ETC...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about Holland, or even Amsterdam.

I'am a teacher myself, and want to change the world. Trying to start with the kids. I believe Creativity is needed in this, in my opinion, narrow minded box thinking, society. We need new sollutions, we are too much focussed on the left side of the brain, the logics. We need to wonder, we need more poets, writers, painters etc. I want to establish Freerunning in the Curriculum for this reason.

Also, everybody should be able to speak their mind. We need to keep it real with eachoter and don't hide behind a mask Society creates, or the elite above it. We need to rediscover ourselves, who we really are.
