About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having a good time

ABOUT ME

First off, I'm not the kind of couchsurfer that's hell-bent on doing everything with my guests/hosts together. I assume you'll be here for Amsterdam and the travelexperience. I'm the bonus, not the obligation. You don't owe me. I won't owe you.
It's karma.

I work at the University of Amsterdam and when I'm free I enjoy live music, the company of my friends or lying around listening to good music at home. I also work at the first and only specialized condom store in the world: the Condomerie. I'd be happy to show you around.

PHILOSOPHY

Your freedom ends where that of someone else begins.

If you start doing something, try to do it the best you can.

Accept everything and everyone around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I sleep over at other people's houses and have guests when I can. Most of the time, I have fun with everyone I meet.

I'm planning on buying a bike for CS'ers in Amsterdam to use.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Pub Crawl in my own city with a guest. 38th floor in a Hong Kong residential tower. Sleeping on a trampoline at the Biko House in Isla Vista, CA.

Interests

I like going to concerts. I love music and have tried my hand at guitar and drums. I still try.
Obviously I enjoy travelling, you wouldn't have read this otherwise. Thailand, France and California are among my favorite places.
I don't like cold countries, except when in warm company. I need sun. Lot's of it.
