I am Stijn. I live in Purmerend. A City just above Amsterdam. I am very adventurous and hungry to explore the little treats in this life as we always only know just a spec of it. I don’t care about status, i care about authenticity because that’s impossible to take away. people are like stars in the universe. Each is unique and different. there has never been the same star before as one is alive now and there won't ever be the same one after.''

I love backpacking, concerts, festivals, and am a big movie lover. I love adventures, roadtrips, writing songs and simple just enjoying laughter and the passage of time with people. I am also very interested having pure fun just as having deep meaningful conversations and philofosy/psychology

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

in times that we don't travel or don't find ourselfes the possibility to do so.. do we allow travellers to get to us

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up in the neighbourhood of U2, alanis morissette, enya, jamie cullum and tears for fears

Then i took a highway and got indulged with Foo Fighters, with Foo fighters taking exit 7a and rammstein and volbeat joined the party. Sometimes you wanna enjoy some relaxed pop so i can also take exit southwest for michael jackson, prince justin bieber and katy perry.

South west brought me to a festival where egyptian desert blues vibes Etran d’Laïr took me away along with Irish folk, scottish bagpipes and Indian Sitar, and if i go north east i get indie and alternative energy such as robrobrob, novo amor and arcade fire

Next to festivals you also have clubs and i can be entertained with M.I.A, Chaz., travis scott and kevin gates

In clubs you can also dance so we can take exit 2a for Hotel Apache, or simple minds.

The exact opposite of clubbin is doing so much nothing that it alligns with meditational music or classical music

Though the next day starts again with hitting the highway 2 and do a sightseeing of taking a bite of exit 24 of chinese traditional music, but just decide to continue looking at exit 25 containing of American gospel and country, and yet cruise on also taking a bit of exit 26’s Spanish reggaetón. I decided to take change highway to highway 3 and end up with 2000’s Blink 182, avril lavigne, the offspring or Jason derulo

music is a limitless universe of inspiration and evolution. Everything excists because of the other and by the other

As in movies, chance the gardener, breaking bad and 20th century girl and la meglio gioventú made one of the most impacts on me
Beside that i can totally be entertained with cliché romcoms via interesting documentaries to poetic or variety of real stuff movies from Mubi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was New Zealand where i’ve met with a professional skydiver and we jumped from a height of 4km!!

Teach, Learn, Share

i was 20 flying to New Zealand. I had a layover in Dubai and I spontaneously started chatting with this man good in his 60's. We were getting real and spiritual and our visions of our life's on this planet floating in nothingness. he told me in pure solitude that nothing in this life matters except love. It doesn't matter what we do, love is the foundation of all our purposes on earth. we are human creatures so before anything, before money or jobs or economy there is love. Without it there is no purpose in any of it's foundations

What I Can Share with Hosts

guests and travellers are not at home, you are going to a home address of a total stranger. Therefore I find a lot of value to always create a form of space or comfort to play it by ear what the guest is in the mood for or what they need. I am always pro in for having fun, cooking together, going out in the city or like anything. I am a good house keeper for a comfortable, nice, enjoyable and valuable time
