About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the best of whatever you are (Martin Luther King)

ABOUT ME

I'm an enthusiastic person and love many different things. So either I have a divers personality, open minded and curious, or I just can't focus :p. Underground rock parties in Budapest after a classical music concert, climbing rocks in the woods or make music by singing and learning some guitar playing, playing racing games or dance on the table, going to a techno party or bake cookies and enjoy lots of tea, being in the heart of nature or that of a crowded city, try to learn some Turkish and Arabic at the same time and not succeeding ;). Ow, and I love laughing a lot :D. Or take a nice cappuccino in the sun, at a cafe... hmmmm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I both surf and host, and until now I've met a lot of nice people (here and in other countries) and went into great small and big adventures with new people I met.

I would love to show more people around in Delft and in the Netherlands. We've got lot a cities within decent travelling distance here (such a cute and tiny country).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just love being CS-experienced (I surfed and hosted quite some times) and I really enjoyed them! So there will be more to come. :D

And I finally went to a CS meeting in my own town (before only meetings abroad)! And by accident I found another one as well. :)

Interests

I've recently done a study in theater and comedy. And now I work in IT, which is okay. Very educative, learning every day. I love to sing. I try to learn myself some guitar playing but as I don't do that very often, it doesn't improve quickly. I can do a few songs, though. I you play, I would love to learn some. The same goes for cajon and ukelele. Recently I've started to write my owns songs. I find this a pretty fascinating learning process.

I like cycling and have seen a lot of the outdoor places in the Netherlands and some places in Europe and I've been camping a lot. I also love city trips and a more cultural perspective on a city
I'm in for pubbing, but also evenings chilling out somewhere else.

I also enjoy cooking and discovering new food. And learning words in other languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I found back my heart for reading. I am now reading about a filosofical view on economy, a book with poems/songs of a comedy poet from the Netherlands, and one about western journalism in Arabic countries.

I like watching movies and documentaries, though at the moment I don't do it very often. Love the documentaries form Louis Theroux (BBC). I do not have a favorite movie, but one example of a movie I like is "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis" (Frensh movie about cultural differences in the south and north of France).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Speaking Dutch, dancing on the table or in the rain, smiling with your eyes, cooking, singing (if only for beginners, cause I'm not an expert) and lots of silly jokes.

I love learning languages, songs and stories. And I'd love to learn to play guitar better, and learning to play other instruments.
