CURRENT MISSION

To cross borders on the road and in the mind.

ABOUT ME

A down to earth 24-year old Dutch guy, coming to have a peak. Passionate for my concerns and interests. Curious and a little lost in time. Eager for a conversation which should be on either end of the spectrum: a laughing matter about complete bullshit or a good solid talk about real concerns. Hate chit chat. Critical. Especially on myself. Open-minded. And convinced that a life without music would simply be impossible. Always looking for a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

However unexperienced in the whole Couchsurfing adventure, I will from now on pull my weight and try to grace and inspire people to live life a little better and more humble. No seriously. I just want to have a hell of a time. Whether it is to places I visit myself around the world or hosting people in the jovial Netherlands! Whether it is by guiding them to the best places, listen to some decent music, talk about our shitty lives, have a good laugh or an incredibly wild night. I'm down for everything!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm crawling out of the egg when it comes to Couchsurfing. Hopefully I will have a bag full of stories soon to post here.

Interests

My first and foremost interest is music. Not a day passes by without listening to, reading about and looking for music. Watching and going to a good film happens regularly, as does diving into a great book. Making myself feel a little worse by watching the news and reading the paper is part of everyday life. Whether it is politics, sports or economics, I keep myself informed. All in all, I want to be triggered and challenged. To think. Perhaps twice.
