About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting everything from life!

ABOUT ME

All about me? Way too much.
I'm just a strange guy performing research at a rehabilitation centre in Enschede, main focus: helping people to help other people. I am genuinely fond of music, playing instruments, listening, dancing, organizing, enjoying! I played in a couple of bands and got to know some great people through that. In Enschede I further try to promote amateur music performance, trying to raise funds, organizing events.
So, really active, social, fond on travelling, relaxed and always in for some fun!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a piano, White keys are happy moments and Black keys are sad moments. But remember both keys are played together to give Sweet music in life!
No idea who I got it from, but it seems to fit perfectly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
