My name is Cornelius, I finished my bachelors in psychology and neuroscience; and am now taking a gap year. I spent the last year working on a farm in Colombia and travelling around different places in Europe, mostly visiting friends from university. My favourite food is breakfast, a good cereal bowl with lots of fruits and nuts and in summer a cold ice coffee! I go bouldering and played ultimate frisbee during my studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love being around other people so I could not travel alone and stay in a hotel room by myself. In my only Couchsurfing experience, I met a wonderful friend and since then I have waited to surf again!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, love live music and watch everything except horror movies (I just don’t really enjoy them).
Just finished reading the medicus, great read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dove in the Great Barrier Reef, hiked the Slovenian alps and did a road trip through western europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching learning and sharing are all thightly woven together, the best way is to have long conversations free of judgement and filled with passion for the unknown. A good conversation is about two people working together to find out more and exchanging ideas, thoughts and facts with each other.
If you’re interested in neuroscience and psychology we can talk for hours about questions you might have or just share opinions.
