ABOUT ME

I'm Mike. I like apple juice. I also like traveling (duh!), people with stories and being put out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Slovenia and Oman.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With the right people, CouchSurfing can take your traveling experience to a whole new level. I've been lucky enough to only have the best experience - there's no way back now!

Interests

My life tends to revolve around three things - languages, music and travel. I can ramble on about these topics for hours.

• instructor
• flying
• traveling
• music
• languages
• volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - I enjoy films that mess with your head and/or offer more than meets the eye. Some all-time favorites: The Fountain, Adaptation, Blade Runner, Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also a huge fantasy fan - LOTR ftw! :)

Music - an active musician myself, I don't even know where to start. If it's good, it's good. Lately, I've been surprising myself with how much I'm starting to enjoy classical music. Post-rock, prog, djent...

Books - don't read as much as I used to (which was a lot!) But gimme China Mieville, Terry Pratchett or Peter Verhelst any time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering as a music instructor with underprivileged children in Botswana - those kids rocked!

Flying over Victoria Falls in a helicopter wasn't too shabby either.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: playing the bass and other instruments, traveling on a restricted budget, some of the languages I speak.

Learn: everything! And I mean it.
I have also recently taken up French and j'aimerais pratiquer mon français!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Monaco, Morocco, Namibia, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, Zambia

Countries I’ve Lived In
