About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everything I do is Funky.

ABOUT ME

Music is the best but I also like to read, meet new people, travel, cook, go out to eat and I love to go for walks. I'm a sociomusicologist and I study at the University of Groningen, NL. Now, I live in Utrecht and work for an NGO. I'm moving to Amsterdam in December!

PHILOSOPHY

You can't expect to show up and be good at this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just started couch-surfing! I met some couch-surfers through a friend and I really like the idea. I often travel alone, so it's nice to meet people rather than staying in a sterile hotel room.

Interests

The Funk, and learning. I love music and I love to cook. I also enjoy theory, travel, records, dancing, meeting new people, establishing and nurturing friendships, experiencing new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Funk, Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, Bhangra. I like to collect records (funk 45s).

I'm reading a lot more lately - grad school has that effect on people. I'm really interested in theory. Get my Wax Poetics on too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I consider the relationships I have built with people all over the world to be one of the most amazing things I have done in my lifetime.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Italy, Turkey, United States
