About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting settled in Amsterdam...

ABOUT ME

What to know about me? I love nature and wilderness. So I enjoy backpacking, hiking, rambling and camping a lot. I'm a pretty easy going and adventurous person, the oldest brother of 5 children and I'm far away from having seen enough of the world...I can't think of anything better than travling...keeps your mind alive and open for new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not"
- The Lorax -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the idea that people just trust each other and are open-minded enough to visit strangers and to leave as friends...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a couchsurf beginner I guess...

Interests

I play the piano (ragtime is cool), in the field of sports I enjoy to play basketball, windsurfing and I would never turn down a good beer or Scotch Whisky ;)
