CURRENT MISSION

Those who wander are not always lost

ABOUT ME

Still waters run deep... I'm a tranquil, somewhat timid but social, sympathetic, wise and very open-minded person. Despite my young age I am an experienced and mature person with philosophic views on life and a dynamic lifestyle. I will fight strongly for my rights, but never without relativizing issues with humour and self-mockery. CS helps me to escape the rhythm of my daily life and take a step back to look at it from a distance. I like to share interesting and philosophic ideas and talk about deep things. I am the perfect example of what we call the 'new' man in The Netherlands. Lastly, I will respect every single person that crosses my path; let this be mutual:)

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace and let go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will gladly host you and show you around in my beautiful city. I hope to give you the same sort of great experience that I could have thanks to CS. On the other hand, it would be great if you could help me on one of my many trips to give me a small taste of your great local culture. Otherwise, maybe we'll meet on one of the great CS meetings all over the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS helps me to explore countries profoundly and fully experience their interesting cultures. On the other hand I like to visit CS meetings, host people from all over the world, and hope to be able to give them the same great experience. I met great, open-minded people, and some of them became true friends.

Interests

I live for travelling and I am obsessed with the Russian language and cutlure, the beautiful country and its great people. In my (little) spare time I like to read about politics, culture, history and philosophy, hang around with my friends or go salsa dancing.
