hi, I am a writer/journalist from the netherlands who is living in Italy, near Albenga at the blue Medittarean Sea in Liguria, to write and enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

off course like almost everybody else here I like to meet interesting people. since I live here alone in a very big apartment overlooking the sea and mountains it gets sometimes very quit. no problem for me, thats why I am here, but sometimes it is nice to have guests. specially people who like to travel and meet other people to.
As a writer (and as a human being) it is important to me to inhale knowledge from all kinds of different people and the people on couch surfing are mostly special and interesting persons.

I can offer you a bedroom with a 'two persons' bed and a bathroom for yourself. I have also a spare room available with op to 3 mattresses. and a view that will astonish. I am living 3 kilometers from the sea near the medieval town of Albenga

Music, Movies, and Books

too many to choose from. I just love music, movies and books.
If I have to make a choice, here I go: jim morisson, janis joplin, depeche mode, the clash. kraftwerk, prince, prince and prince, paul weller, tom waits , bob marley etcetcetc. up to mozart, charlie parker and miles davis, john coltrane
movies from the 70-ies
and books? anything I can get my hand on. guys like Hemingway, Bukowski, Scott Fitzgerald, Celine, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, american literature has my special interest.
