About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making the world a better place and enjoy it at the same time

ABOUT ME

I want to make the world a better place. Most of my interests as well as my studies relate to this. I like to learn about almost everything. I intend to say "yes" whenever I'm offered the opportunity to do something. I like to meet people. If we meet this may mean that I'll be asking a lot of questions... It's not a cross-examination though! I just really like to get to know you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By making the house I live in with some other young people a hub of positive vibes and sharing this with whoever wants to crash our couch. Also I like to meet people and connect them with eachother if they have shared interests or common goals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed the couch of an Indian family for eleven months (formally organised through a program though). And in my house we've hosted a couple of decades of couchsurfers by now, many of whom I have had memorable conversations with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Without a doubt living in India for a year has been the most amazing thing I have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a bit of a philosopher and like to think that I am collecting bits of wisdom as I live my life. I hope I can share that with others.
Other than that I am quite an information junkie and know a lot of things about... a lot of things.
