About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let go of what I think I know, be open to the world I don't yet know and evolve

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious and tolerant. I'm playful in a way, but serious when necessary. I love music! I'm a busker (street performer), I play the guitar, piano, I'm now learning to sing properly and I perform as a spoken word artist. I'm going to study Artificial Intelligence next year and until then I'm planning on traveling as much as possible.
I'm always trying to stay positive and get rid of pointless grudges. I believe that my opinion is worth no more than yours, and as long as you're sincere and give other people their space, you don't need to agree on everything.
I'm an open-minded and respectful guy with an everchanging view on the world, because I'm learning new things every day.
I'm a vegan. I'm not going to be up in your business about that, except if you're open to exchange points of view. In that case I'm always open to conversation. I'm very passionate about it, but that doesn't need to affect our interaction. This should all go without saying, but unfortunately there's quite a stigma concerning veganism and people normally somehow expect vegans to burn down their house if they're not also a vegan. :P

PHILOSOPHY

Real wisdom is about being open to someone else's and accepting that your truth doesn't apply to everyone.
Real experience is to find that, even with all the experience you already have, you can't always foresee or judge everyone or everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently living with my parents and can't host yet. But when I move to Amsterdam I will! Until then I'm always up to hang out or skate or make music or whatever!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Switzerland and helped a friend hosting Couchsurfers, which were both very good experiences. :)

Interests

I like to play guitar, climb trees, go on an adventure, skate (mostly longboard), talk about music.

  • singing
  • traveling
  • music
  • guitar
  • piano
  • hitchhiking

Music, Movies, and Books

The Tallest Man on Earth, Parkway Drive, Kepa Junkera, KOAN Sound, Simon & Garfunkel, Goldfinger, and everything in between really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a hitchhiking/couchsurfing trip to Switzerland, and learned to get over my fear of singing in public. I earned enough money for my trip playing my guitar and singing on the streets while traveling. I met new people and ended up in places where I didn't know where I would be going to sleep, but it was worth it. It was a very valuable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy sharing music, but mostly I'd want to be able to open up to new people, make new friends and give people the chance to open up themselves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you! As mentioned before I'm vegan, and would be very happy to share with you my vegan ways. Also I'd love to play you some songs if you're interested!
