About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rooting in Holland

ABOUT ME

I am here for 36 years now. Like most couchsurfers, I like to travel, visit different places, different cultures, meet different people and learn, try and experience new things. What more to say about myself, I enjoy food (: Live on a pescatarian diet, I dont smoke cigarettes and don't follow any specific religion, but spirituality is an important part of my life. I am often in for a good conversation and or adventure. I am generally a quiet, calm person, but can be very talkative, mainly one on one or in very small groups :) I value honesty, humor, I am open minded, inquisitive, enjoy exploring, I love to understand things but more so love the mystery.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a playground. Life is a dream, we are a dream, we are the dreamer, become lucid and you will be god!
Follow the whispering of the soul!

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. Lao Tzu

'We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses'. Carl Jung

'Silence is the language of god, all else is bad translation' Ruml

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started hosting as I just started renting my own place in Eindhoven. In the past I used couchsurfing as a guest and to meet others for tea or activietes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several, all great!

Interests

Travelling, having a good and open conversation, nature, motorbike trips, enjoying simple things such as eating, cooking, reading a book, going for a walk, swimming, squashing, relaxing at home, playing a game , listening music etc. Further some things I am interested in, understanding the psyche, spiritual 'growth', psychedelic experiences, non duality, wonder about life. The last years I developed more of in interest in art, myth and philosophy, and the older I get the more differnet kinds of music I can appreciate
