About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well, I just want to enjoy the company of different people in my life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit shy in the beginning, but I'm open to others. I like all kinds of people. I like the company of others and I'm very interested in people's stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have an extra bed in a little room (and another extra mattress), so I can host two people. If you announce your visit early, I will probably be able to host you. You can also try to ask at the last moment, maybe I have space for you.

If people stay at my place, I really like them to feel and act like if they are at home. You'll have a spare key, so you can always come and go whenever you want. Furthermore you can use the livingroom, the kitchen, the shower and the toilet like you do at home (on the assumption you're a decent person ;)).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now, I had fifteen guests in my room. I liked it a lot. It was nice learning to know people whom I'd never would have contacted with without CS.

Interests

I like sports a lot. When I'm alone, I love running and Mountainbiking. Furthermore I like to play soccer, especially indoors with my soccer team. Besides sports I like to read and listen to music. Visiting gigs or festivals are ways I like to spend time as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: http://www.last.fm/user/Sleffer/
I really love to read every single letter that is written by Murakami. He wrote my favourite 5 books.

Authors I love as well are Auster, Ammaniti, Houellebecq, Verhulst, Hermans, Brusselmans, Roth, Lethem and a lot more.....
Movies I like a lot are: Happiness, Dogville, Amelie, Pi & Donnie Darko.
And when you like to watch TV-series, watch Twin Peaks, Breaking Bad & Fargo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I travelled a plane for the first time in my life!

This last sentence proves that I'm not a great traveller. My best experiences were deep talks with good friends, no matter where those talks were.

I travel a little bit, and will travel and CS more in my life, but my home is very important for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I host, I love to meet people who want to share stories about their lifes. I'm willing to tell some of my stories :). I think I can learn something from almost everyone, so that's a good reason to meet new people.
