CURRENT MISSION

wondering what home mean to me when is fits in a backpack

ABOUT ME

Living in Breda. Starting my final year at the academy of arts for spatial design. Busy with a new project defining what home means to me. Wondering how beautifull home can be when it fits in a backpack. working on that (as a designer).

I love SouthAmerican culture and language. Also I'm addicted to coffee; fortunately I work part-time in a coffee bar.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't look through the eyes of your environment, look through your own. what is valuable to you? Dare to dream and be tough to yourself realizing this dream. In this battle find yourself moments of clarity. Don't search. Find it. Wander, but don't get lost.

Interests

dancing zouk, fleamarkets, product designing (wood and textile), hiking in the mountains, observe tourists, learning spanish, wander at new places, (then) get inspired by unobtrusive things, philosophize.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would like to connect with people outside my environment. To learn about their values and how they express these. don't like to sinking away in one culture and way of thinking and living. Hope couchsurfing can encourage me to keep my horizon broaden.
