Right now Im studying at the university of Amsterdam. It's a combination of social and exact sciences because I know there are multiple ways to view and explain life and I want to try to understand what they all have in common. This way I can help build bridges between all different scientific disciplines, which are now all living a bit too much in their own islands.
Next to that I'm training on becoming an acrobat. Maybe I find this even more important than an academic career in understanding life. We'll see how things go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the idea of this platform because while using this when travelling, you get integrated much better into the life of the countries you visit. And you get to listen to and share stories about how different everyone experiences life. It's warmer than just sitting alone in your hotel room and knowing nothing of the city.
