I'm a open-minded person who loves to meet new people and discover new cultures. I make a lot of jokes (when I'm comfortable) and like to laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like limiting my view to the "touristic face" of a city. For me, a place not only consist of buildings and museums, but also of the people who live there.

Interests

I have very broad interests. But as much as I like talking about them; while traveling I prefer finding out what other people like. There's nothing more interesting than having a person who's passionate about something special explain that thing to you. For me, that's the best way of learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

- The Prestige

- The Boat That Rocked
- Singin' in the Rain
- The Philadelphia Story

- Some Like It Hot

I always carry a book around and enjoy reading all kinds of books. Some of my favourite authors: Elisabeth Gaskell, Stephen King, Marc-Uwe Kling, Eugène Ionesco, Jane Austen, Ephraim Kishon, Trudi Canavan, Jon Krakauer, Andrzej Sapkowski...
