About Me

I'm an easygoing person. I love tech, discussing philosophy, going out to do urban exploration, taking walks in general, admiring nature (although it's gotten harder in Amsterdam) and talking about psychologically mind-bending movies. I am also kind of a nerd.

I attend a very interesting type of programming school with no teachers and no classes. I'm very happy with my life and I am extremely driven to chase my dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people
To expand my foreign meme collection
To possibly enlighten people to take cold showers in the morning (it's really great)
