Why I'm on Couchsurfing
During my trips abroad, I realised that I really like to meet new people from different countries with different cultures. Couchsurfing gives me the opportunity to meet those people.
Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC Without music there is no happiness. I really like house music and I try to visit many EDM festivals. My favourite artists in the EDM scene are: Avicii, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, KSHMR, Kygo, Hardwell, Martin Garrix and Nicky Romero. It's a dream for me to visit Tomorrowland one day. FILMS/TV SHOWS A good film or a TV show is the perfect way to relax. If I had to choose, I'd prefer an episode of a TV show over a film. My favourite TV shows are: Game of Thrones, Designated Survivor and Sherlock. I also like to watch some local Dutch TV shows like: Flikken Maastricht, Penoza and Baantjer. BOOKS Mostly, I don't take time to read a good book, which is strange, since the books are mostly better than the films. I really like to read the books of Dan Brown, since he's able to mix art and history into an exciting thriller. My favourite book of him is Angels and Demons.
Teach, Learn, Share

My Interests
My biggest passion is traveling. Traveling is for me the ultimate form of happiness. It's not about the destination, but it's about the journey full of struggles that gives traveling its charm. I try to see as much of the world as possible. Being abroad, gives me the opportunity to develop myself. Dealing with different people and cultures in a different environment taught me much about life. It gave me the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. Traveling can be quite expensive, but the experience I get in return is priceless.
