ABOUT ME

I'm a quintessentially curious person, I like to learn about anything, love meeting new people, seeing new countries and encounter different cultures. I'm friendly and easygoing, enjoy simplicity and look for the essential things in life. I'm hopelessly attracted to nature and adventure and wish I could dedicate more time to that.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness only real when shared.

I know, overquoted quote, but I believe in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm quite new to couchsurfing and unfortunately I don't have room to host (unless you bring a sleeping mattress). However, I'd love to meet travelers who stumble upon Leiden and show you around this lovely town!

Interests

Many things, but my main hobbies are music and photography. I play a little bit of piano, love to sing but only with peoplee and try to translate into photos the feelings like "oh my god this is awesome!" that i get when travelling around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure how amazing this is, but two times it happened that I was playing "Comptine d'une autre été - l'après-midi" at the piano in my room, on a summer day with my window open, and a bird came chirping on the window sill. when i stopped playing (or didn't give any food), it took off. it never happened again or before that a bird would come on my window will.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tell you something about mathematics, music, basics of piano playing and digital photography.

Would like to learn about... well, pretty much anything.
