CURRENT MISSION

Creating an intellectual, creative, artistic, activistic and free thinking network of open minded people!

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in sociology and anthropology. Currently I'm just working, next year I'll go back to university.

I'm interested in philosophy, experiences termed 'spiritual', meditation, shamanistic techniques, transgression as an act of change, mind altering substances -especially psychedelics, meeting new people and discovering different ways of life and different (sub)cultures. I really enjoy talking to strangers, tourists and travelers.

I LOVE sarcasm. I don't like to hurt people but teasing is okay.

PHILOSOPHY

Agnostic meditating psychonaut.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just moved in with my girlfriend. Our house is still a mess so we're not up for hosting yet. I'm up for coffee though, and I can give a lot of directions!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I show around a lot of tourist through my job in the Kokopelli, a smartshop in the Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam. I hosted some surfers in my old place but can't currently do so. I also did some couchsurfing in Brasil. Love it!

Interests

Meditation, chi kung, bagua, atheism, buddhism, taoism, shamanism, shakuhachi and other flutes, music in general actually, philosophy, political change, alchemy, queer theory, poetry and psychedelics. I'm slowly getting interested in permaculture.
