ABOUT ME

Easy-going, but lazy by nature.

Thoughtful, but sometimes too serious.

Cheerful, but laughs way too loud.

A good listener, but sometimes too opinionated.

Without prejudice, but often too naïve.

PHILOSOPHY

Aim for the highest and never lose hope, but take nothing for granted.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fairly new on CS. For now I'm offering my couch, and try to participate in CS-meetings close by.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to CS-meetings in The Hague, where I've met some very interesting persons.

兴趣

I like to go out and see a movie - mainly arthouse - go to the theatre, see a - modern - ballet or go to a concert - mainly classical. While at home I love to read a book or a newspaper, but I also like to sit on my couch and watch a DVD.

One of my best decisions was to cancel my subscription for a tv-signal. I consider watching tv such a waste of time, except for documentaries or the evening news; I watch those on the internet - without the commercials, thank you very much.

I'm not much of a dancer, but I like to go out and have a few drinks in a bar with friends. I like to cook, and I drink like a european ;)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I was 10 years old, for the first time I heard someone play the oboe. I've been playing it ever since; I even became a professional oboist. The sound of an oboe goes right through the heart - like it or not.

Seeing the Milky Way for the very first time; this was when I was travelling in the US while I was camping in a national-forest in the Mid West. I live in the Netherlands where true darkness doesn't exist anymore, so I had to wait for 18 years to behold such a spectacle.

Culture is very important in my life. I've been awestruck quite some times while listening to music during a concert, or reading a poem.
