About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You are always welcome to stay at my place.

Follow me on: www.onesickdream.com

My mission is to make the best of life and help others achieve goals they have set for themselves, in any way that i can.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person, who takes life as it comes. There is no need to worry about the things that you can not change, just worry about the things that you can change and then change them is my philosophy.
I have been a a voluntary firefighter since 2007 and from there i made it to a professional firefighter now for over 5 years.
I have met my girlfriend on a hitchhiking competition to Barcelona and since that trip we are happily exploring the world together.
I got a bachelors degree in creating and designing video games and a passion for music and making music. Also photography is one of my (and also my girlfriends) main interests.
I do a lot of sports and spend most of my time in the company of friends and family.
In my spare time (which is not a lot) I work as a freelance graphic designer.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no need to worry about the things that you can not change, just worry about the things that you can change and then change them..!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in every way that I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted at various places around the world, all of them were a great experience in itself, thank you for letting me stay!

We have also had a few couchsurfers at our home from various countries. Each has his/her own story which is a delight to hear from them.

Thanks for the memories Vicky, for showing us around in Miami, taking us to Gator Park, lending your Ice Box, the wonderful pancakes and happy hour and picking us up and dropping us off at Miami Airport!

Thanks for the good times Laura, showing us around in Fort Lauderdale, taking us out to party, the evening walk, the nice neighbourhood, the wonderful story of you and your husband!

Stephen from Ottawa, I will never forget the time we spent at your place. Thanks for taking us to the match, having drinks with us, listening to Pearl Jam, getting booze and letting us stay for 3 days instead of 1. Stephen, you rock!

Stephanie and Brandon from Buffalo, thank your for the great party in your backyard, the midnight talk, taking us to your softball match and eating icecream in the sun! Say hi to Fupa and make sure to never stop travelling, you are a wonderful couple and always welcome to stay!
