About Me

I wrote this when I was 19. leaving it as a memory. have changed a bit though. but since cs is suddenly selling out, I'll invest in a new description when I know it is still functionsl. trying that in boligna right now.

CURRENT MISSION

find the answer

ABOUT ME

If there is anyone that is completely incapable of describing me, it would be me.

PHILOSOPHY

make Love and Music. Cook and eat food, swim in the sea when it's cold,make fire, talk and laugh till you die.

Please make sure you are really enjoying your life, before you start worrying about how to make the rest of the world enjoy theirs. Do not think you are doing the right thing by constantly trying to live for everyone. Dedicate you life to you. Egocentric ? I don't see how you could deny that you are the centre of the world. What you should do, is enjoy. Once you truly know how to do that, you will realize that, by living for nobody but yourself, you are actually making the world a better place. In other words... try out the thought in your mind that you don't have to look for 'your path' , for happiness, for love, for the goal you have to reach. If you want an answer to the uninteresting question 'What is the goal?' : You are already there. Just be there everyday, eyes open, look around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I finally have a place to live again I can finally go on, with making coffee, pasta and music for and with any couchsurfer that is willing to sleep at me and my friends place in Amsterdam again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After 10 days of picking grapes, I spent the night in Lyon at a 20 years old french Guitar maker and his girlfriend's very old-,cinemalike house, where a few french students were drinking wine, smoking hasj, and, more importantly, truly talking with each other, and before I knew it, with me. Coolest atmosphere ever, and it was incredible to realize it is possible to walk in someones house, in the middle of a conversation some friends are having, and to just sit down, drink wine and blend in like you have been sitting there for days. and then sit there for days. lifted me up.
