ABOUT ME

Waking up in the morning, I remember my dreams, try and make sense out of them and see how my subconscious is doing. Then I take a nice shower with some stuff that smells good and natural. Some coffee with foamy hot milk would be nice! Breakfast's for later. Then reading some interesting article about society before I start my day. Then I go and and enjoy my work, which now is guiding foreign visitors through Amsterdam and other beautiful places in the Netherlands, but soon will be music again, as a singer & composer; writing, rehearsing, checking sound and performing. And celebration after success! A nice beer, some good laughs, a loving conversation. Meeting people, sharing curiosity for each other, setting up a little musical jam or listening to exciting music. Then at some point during the night I finally convince myself it is now really time to go to bed.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself! You're the only one who can do that as well as you do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I grew up a Servas member; same idea, but on paper instead of the internet. Beautiful experiences meeting total strangers and becoming friends.
Also, I was an exchange student as an adolescent bursting into womanhood, forming new non-blood families on the other side of the world.
Also later, living in Mexico or the Netherlands, I met many sisters and brothers of many countries. Brothers from other mothers.
