50% Dutch, 50% German, but beyond passports I do not identify with it too much xD Lived in: Germany | Netherlands | South Africa | UK | Bulgaria Aside from the languages listed in the overview, which I either know quite well, or I am actively learning, I also have some knowledge about: Bulgarian | Russian | Spanish | Portuguese | Italian Always happy to practice any of those :) Fun fact: Even though Dutch and German are both my native languages I have a foreign accent in both of them. I mix them up and simply lived abroad for too long. There is no language that I can speak without an accent xD Skills I am working on/things I like to learn about: - Digital Painting - Audio Production/Editing - Language Learning Some other facts about me: I love animals, all from dogs to spiders, but unfortunately am super allergic to many of them :/ Aside from pet allergies I also have a lot of food allergies, so I would like to apologise in advance in case you offer me something I cannot eat, it is not to criticise your cooking. However if you like to eat a home-cooked meal together I can buy groceries and cook for us both :) I am quite active on the InterNations app, I found that many Couchsurfers are using that app as well, I am currently a community consul and organised a number of events. InterNations events are supposed to be exclusive, but nobody cares about those rules, I always invite my CS friends to come along ;) I have been on Couchsurfing since 2014, but deleted my old account during the pandemic (I know not the smartest move :/ ). So I have some experience using the app and hosting/hanging out with other Couchsurfers.
Interested in Board games
Interested in Hiking
Fluent in German
Learning Japanese
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My primary use so far has been for events and hangouts, I am moving around a lot so it is difficult to offer one specific location for hosting, and as a result I feel a bit guilty to ask people to host me. I might ask if I think we share things in common and we could otherwise also just hangout :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Synthwave Vaporwave Chillwave ...most genres with wave at the end. Movies (I have so many, so I will list directors whose movies I like): Sergio Leone Francis Ford Coppola William Wyler Quentin Tarantino Martin Scorsese Werner Herzog (Although some of his movies are really too weird) :/ Books: Sanskrit classics Technical books Language learning courses xD
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Organising board game events for the CS community, some of which had an attendance of 20+ people :)
Teach, Learn, Share
- Language practice - Online business basics - I know the rules of a lot of board games (if available) xD
What I Can Share With Hosts
- I always clean up after myself, but can assist with other chores in the house. - If there is an opportunity to stay longer I can contribute towards rent and bills, I never stay with the intention of being a freeloader. - Hosting them back :)
