About Me

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
Oscar Wilde

Yes from all my travels I do remember the attractions, the food, and the fancy places I go to, but when I look back on all my travels, my best memories are with people I've met along the way. Meeting cool people is what really defines my travel everytime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met and befriended many cool people thanks to this site. Couchsurfing offers an excellent community of open minded, outgoing people and I've enjoyed countless many couchsurfing experiences and events because of it. That's why I'm always in for meeting people and up for adventure. I will share my apartment or will take time to meet you and show you around my city.

Interests

Aside from studying Econometrics, music is a huge part of my life. I love listening, playing and recording and I enjoy meeting people with a similar kind of passion for music. Jazz has my main interest and I've fallen in love with the wonderfull swing jazz style of the late Django Reinhardt.

I really like to travel: hiking nature and enjoying cultural differences, different kinds of food and different kinds of people ;). There's just so much beauty!

I love meeting people. Getting to know each other can be such an interesting experience!

I also have an interest in cooking and in card magic. I'll show you some dorky tricks, but only if you promise to keep them secret of course ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
My main interest lies in jazz: swing and gypsy swing. I also enjoy the oldskool 80's hiphop from time to time. When it comes to partying, I'm almost in for any kind of music.

Movies
David Lynch, Kubrick, David Fincher, Tarantino, Christopher Nolan. Cinematography that challenges the mind. But I'm also a big fan of comedy.

Books
I enjoy studying spirtuality, psychology, finance, politics and dieting.
