CURRENT MISSION

To explore (a bit) of the world to widen my perspective. Meeting people, getting to know how the live and what thrives them.

ABOUT ME

There are a lot of things I do in life, for now I am an architecture student and blogger, travaller, climber and bike messenger. I am very enthousiastic about the stuff that I do and therefore I like to share it and talk about it with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

You should try to make most out of it! If you got a chance to do something, take it. I find it important too to relax, do sports and enjoy life together with friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm travelling through Russia, Mongolia and China. I use couchsurfing to meet local people and to learn more about them and about the city they live in. When I get back in July I would like to show other couchsurfers my ow town, Eindhoven or my hometown 's-Hertogenbosch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through couchsurfing I met Nick Suchkov in Yekaterinburg, he made a television show 'the Ural Mountains seen through foreigners eyes' where a friend and I were the centre of the show. Together with other nice experiences in Russia with other couchsurfers I decided that is was about time to improve my own profile as well.

Interests

First of all I am interested in the built environment, architecture and urban planning, whenever I travel I want to see local monuments of architecture and urban design. Secondly, I really like to ride bicycles, my job as a messenger is also my hobby.

Teach, Learn, Share

Walk through the streets together and you will see that everyone has a different perspective, differnt stuff to look at, share your thoughts about what you see and learn to see things from another perspective.
