About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer (from July 30th to August 20 2015) I will be traveling by train through Europe for three weeks with a friend of mine. We will start in Amsterdam and travel through Germany (Berlin), Czech Republic (Prague) to Austria and Switzerland. My friend and I both see Couchsurfing as a great opportunity to meet new people that might be able to help us discover the 'hidden' beauties of their hometowns. This, while at the same time cutting down the costs for our journey. After all we are both students and with a limited budget to work with.

Interests

Sports

I enjoy a wide variety of sports from the more mundane ones like soccer and running to more extreme sports such as Freerunning, mountain biking and Mixed Martial Arts.

Learning

I am interested in learning new things about our world. Especially the theories behind different aspects of disciplines such as biology, physics, psychology and philosophy.

Lifestyle

I try to live a conscious and healthy life. For me this entails eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise and sleep. Besides maintaining my own health I also try to be aware of my impact on the environment (e.g. recycling, no long showers). This behavior led me to study Future Planet Studies which focusses on trying to solve big societal problems in our world today.

Media

I enjoy watching movies, series, documentaries etc. I also like to play videogames from time to time.
