About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm always in for an adventure. I like to do many things at the same moment: meet new people, play music, learn new foreign languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Expect the unexpected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now I've mainly had spontaneous couchsurf moments (so without use of this website:). Thanks to hitchhiking me and my friend once were invited to the best couch ever: a foldable couch that turned out to be a king size soft heavenly bed! After 2 weeks of wildcamp, sleeping on rocks, beaches and even a bare floor this couch-bed felt like sleeping on silky clouds.

Interests

I really like to listen to music and since a while I even play my own music. I've learned to play guitar, so I started a singer songwritersduo with a friend of mine.
I also like to travel: see new sights of Europe, practice foreign laguages, taste new dishes and meet friendly people.
I'm also interested in films, although I haven't seen as much as I would have wanted to see. Since a few years I began to make shortfilms with friends. A really nice film festival where we've participated in was the "48 hour film project", where you have to make a shortfilm within one single weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since a few years I started hitchhiking during holidays. I really enjoyed these times and I've realized how friendly people are.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love to listen to stories of other people, especially when something unexpected or almost surrealistic happened to them.
I also like to practice foreign languages, either learn or teach.
