CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a mission to go everywhere I haven't been before, discover everything I haven't seen before, and being as eccentric as possible. Maybe.

ABOUT ME

They tell me I was born on the 7th of September, 1989, in a country called the Netherlands. I then proceeded to move about a bit, wriggle around, and grow up reading a lot of books and playing a lot of video games. I then became older, wiser, taller, played sports, was really bad at it, and I also learned that people are kind of enigmas.

I then developed things like hobbies, a life, and a personality, just like any good person grows up and becomes his own man someday. I went to university, studied sciences, got a little bored of it, and am now studying to become a Communicator of the Greater Good (ergo, tell people that science is really cool).

Nowadays I'd say I'm a cross between Bill Nye, a liberal, a cosmopolitan, a scientist, a musician, a traveller, and someone who likes reading books, and playing video games.

Oh, and I love speaking foreign languages.

PHILOSOPHY

"Always be kind to unkind people, they probably need it the most"

"If you want something done properly, go do it yourself".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't participate actively for now, but I can meet up! Also, once I get my own place I will host ALL THE SURFERS, EVERY DAY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. Yet. So if you are a kind soul, let me surf YOUR COUCH and it will rule.

Interests

Music, football, foreign languages, science, music, reading, music, a lot of things, music...

Oh, and penguins. They're just such cutesy waddlers.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's a lot I could post here, but I'll limit myself to:

Amélie Nothomb
Douglas Adams
Anything David Gilmour has ever done
Lord of the Rings (both the books and the movies, and also Tolkien's linguistic expertise)
Richard Dawkins (particularly the books that describe evolution in detail)

As for music, I like anything that's melodic and powerful. To name a few examples: Tchaikovsky, Young Guns, Eluveitie, The Gaslight Anthem, Rammstein, Simon & Garfunkel, Apocalyptica, Frank Turner, and then a lot more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked the Laugavegur in Iceland (a hiking trail through snow, ice, glacial rivers, forests, lava beds...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you more than you know, because they don't call me the walking encyclopedia for nothing!
