23-year-old student living in Amsterdam, originally from Curacao in the Caribbean. Been living in Amsterdam for the past year and in the Netherlands for the past 5 years. Very much involved in music stuff, I play bass and other instruments and I play in bands. Into all sorts of music, punk, jazz, indie, you name it! Studying media and having an interest in journalism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a beautiful thing when people can help each other out and share a bit of their lives with one another.

Interests

I enjoy outdoor activities and music. I tend to go on hikes when I get the opportunity. I’m quite into playing music, have performed live before in bands, I go and see lots of concert around the city as well.

Been getting more into hitchhiking, and have been thinking about doing more ambitious hitchhiking trips when the opportunity arises.

I play some instruments like guitar and bass, a little bit of drums. I do my own shit as well, so if you’re into jamming/making music, we could always jam and record some nice stuff.

Music, Movies, and Books

As mentioned, into all sorts of music and books!

Music interests have always evolved for me, but grew up listening to a lot of Oh sees and Fuzz in high school, lots of post-punk/garage rock bands. Can range from hardcore punk to goth-darkwave-type music. But will also listen to North African Mali music, Caribbean music, and Cumbia.
