About Me

Good day, my name is Rino and I'm 29 years. Currently I’m living in a self-made Tiny House in a big yard in the Netherlands. I really like to exercise and to learn new skills. Therefore my biggest hobby is to have a lot of hobbies! Besides that I also love to teach people the skills I’ve learned!

It's always a bit difficulty to introduce yourself, but I give it my best shot. I'm open-minded, like to hear stories of other people (especially the way of life/thinking they have). Sometimes (aka most of the times) I'm a bit child-like, because being adult is not as fun (except for serious matters). I'm very technical, this means I’m very good at fixing stuff, get the logical parts out of stories and be (very) direct. I'm always open for new ideas, views on life and ways to improve my social skills.

My lifegoal is to be as happy as I can be at any given moment (this doesn’t mean I always want and will be happy, but in average sum of my entire life I hope it will be (very) positive). I’ve seen just a few people who reached this state of mind, when you see them (in RL) you become more happy yourself just by looking at them (or at least I am). That’s the person I also want to be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I joined this Coachsurfing is obviously to improve my social skills and connect (more) with people. Other positive things are so I can see, hear and feel more of the world through stories or just by exploring myself.

Interests

  • guitar
  • piano
  • salsa

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of musics as long the musicality and rythm is on point! Besides listening to music almost all day long, the times I don't there is a big chance I'm trying to create music my own. Last year I picked up a (/my mom's ancient) guitar and since then I'm practising almost everyday. I also have a huge crush on John Mayer('s music).

Horror! That's my favorite genre, especially if you count gaming too! Besides the spooky scares I also like to watch action, drama, animation and so on. Wall-E I've watched at least 20 times already, never gets old.

The only things I read are memes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a bit personal, but 1 year ago I took a big step to join the salsa community, picked up my (mom's) guitar and started to do challenges to improve my confidence and raise my self-esteem. This turned my mindset and my world upside-down. At this point I'm happier than ever and I'll like to improve this more the next years.

My next big amazing thing I'm planning to do is hitchhiking around different places and teach myself to be more social and meet more (interesting) people.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I noted before, I really like to learn new things and teach my new skills to other people. I can introduce you to latin dances (salsa, bachata and kizomba) and if you're up to it (and it's available nearby) we can go to a real salsa party! Besides moving my hips around the dancefloor, I also like to do calisthenics (bodyweight workouts) and powerlifting (lifting very heavy). I know quite a lot about fitness and food, so feel free to ask for advice or tips.

The main reason I'm on this platform is to increase my social skills and meet new people. So just talking about life or any random stuff is always fun to do. Social comfort challenges are my way to improve my confidence and overall skills, I really like to do these challenges with a partner. If you're up for it and brave enough we could give it a try :)

The last thing what I want to note is... COOKING! I really want to improve my cooking skills, so please teach me your secret granny's recipes so I can show them off to my friends and family. Right now I'm happy I don't burn my rice or cut my fingers.
