Overview
About Me
I am an adventurous person, also friendly, I never give up, open minded, and I am a bit stubborn.
I like to explore new cultures and I want to see more of the world.
I am crazy about history and old architecture, so most of the time when I go traveling I will spend my time in beautiful acient cities or towns.
Besides that i also love nature, so i love to visit nature parks and take a look at the landscape in a country when i'll be there.
I also love cycling, if the weather is nice, I think it is wonderful to make long bike rides. And when i'm on my bicycle, I enjoy how beautiful nature is.
I find the topics philosophy, anthropology and psychology interesting to explore deeper en deeper over the years.
Besides that I'm really into chess, I have the ambition to be a proffesional chess player, maybe, someday I am, but maybe I don't. It's always good to have a goal, and something to dream. I think, that is making life more beautiful, and more hopefull
-Say what you think, and think about what you want to say, choosing your words is important, from my perspective :) In any case, you can say (almost) anything you want to me, and if it is not okay, I will just tell you. I think it is important to be honest to each other, in return I will handle you with a lot of respect, as long as you treat me the same
-I only host people if i think we will have a nice time together, I am just being honest. I am not a hostel. So, it depends on wich type of message you send me, i only answer if you would put some effort in it. I can promise, it is worth it. I will put a lot of effort in you if I will host you!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really like traveling and I want to explore more of a culture in a country.
So the best way to do that is to get to know the locals.
I also really like to meet people and just have a great time with them :)
