CURRENT MISSION

Into the great wide open.

ABOUT ME

I'm diverse! I love making music (guitar, piano). I love thinking, about philosophy, politics, life, the universe and everything. I love writing and reading. I love running, rowing, biking. I love going to the theatre and acting. And all of this is best combined with a drink and friends. I have been very fortunate to combine all of this in my life for the last couple of years, and will be even more when I finally start my masters next year.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very pragmatic, but I want life to be fun, worthwhile and interesting in the long run for me and my loved ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been side-surfing with a couple of friends for the last years, but there is a time that you really need your own account. But I've always loved the diversity of people you meet through CS, either in your own town or abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's always hard to pick, but to name a few: mountainbiking through the woods for three straight days with only a backpack has been amazing, performing my own musical, for which I wrote and played the music in the theatre was fantastic, experiencing the amazing hospitality and kindness of people on my tour through the US. Those are just a few, but I love getting amazed by the world around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my experiences on philosophy, communication and music. But what I love even more is to be confronted with my own inexperience and to learn from that.
