About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Physics Student, half Dutch half German. Born in Germany, grew-up in Cologne and finished my school in Wales. I just finished studying physics in Bonn. I spent one year in France in Lyon doing my ERASMUS.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to do generally good in life but also enjoying it in the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couchsurfing but I really like travelling, meeting people, experiencing new cultures and languages.
Unfortunally so far I had no couch to share, since I share my house with nine other people, of which unfortunately some don't warm to the idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only experience which I had with couchsurfing so far were some couch surfers who stayed at my brothers flat, who were very nice. Everybody who does it, tells me its great, so please help me experience this as well.

Interests

I like loads of stuff and my interest seem to change a lot. at the moment i'm rowing, participating in engeengineers without borders in cologne, started again to play basketball and going to a so called outdoor gym, which is excatly that. However since currently waiting for a reply from a possible future employer, I am travelling in short trips of about a week each. In the past i used to do theater, dance lindy hop, run, play tennis... I really don't like swimming a lot but love to hike in the montains. Yesterday some friends and i decided to go sky diving, which scares the living hell out of me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing liquid magma running down the Colima vulcano, glowing in the shade of the upcoming sun.
Asking for the way in instanbul, beeing driven by a corner shop owner to the place we were looking for, closing her shop to drive us there.
Lying in the alps on the grass next to a friend with closed eyes listing to the surrounding sounds of cow bells, bees gathering honey, water running in the valley and wind brushing through the grass.
