CURRENT MISSION

To understand people, individually and in the aggregate

ABOUT ME

When I am going around discovering new people and places and things I love the world. I like to talk, sometimes a lot :), and to hear stories! Then again when I stay at rest to long I do tend to start pondering, and see a lot of pain in the world. Luckily couch surfing (and playing piano) is the ultimate medicine!

PHILOSOPHY

If I would know that my lifes task would be completed. what seems provisionally clear is that knowing is doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started my CS experiences when I was traveling around the meiteranian with my friend. First we had a cup of coffee in Jordan, later surfing a couch in Bulgaria, evntually taking couchsurfers with us for parts of our trip, so I hosted people on the road. Now I would like to host at home. creating international fun in the city of The Hague.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It would be a cliché to say that CS changed my life. So I won’t say it. It made an impact though. Sounds better doesn’t it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up and smiled knowing that life leads nowhere but can be so much fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I am officially educated as an economist, so I could tell you all about that. However, I am probably better able to show the problems in economic knowledge. Every day I am learning new things that I would like to share! Also I love to teach and be taught on political philosophy and modern continental philosophy, especially Foucault.
