(Quick Update: Not living in Enschede, NL anymore. Moved to Berlin Metropolitan area, DE)

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get this done in one take. So let's try make that happen...

Now, ABOUT ME...

Hi my name is Frank but people also call me Tommy! ^^" I'm the sitting-on-top-of-Mt.-Everest-while-the-sun-is-just-rising guy. But also the guy trying to move this damn mountain no matter what. Apparently, I'm "several" - spirit-wise! ;P

So far, I've lived only on one continent, speak several languages but most of them not very well. I enjoy food from all over the world but especially lots of it. ;P Actually I even enjoy preparing food (my talent is chopping!) but suck at cooking in general if you get my drift. Nothing wrong with a frozen Pizza once in a while but self-made is always king.
Travelling, discovering new worlds, broaden one's horizon and just having a good time.. those are my biggest passions but that's kinda given if you're registered here, right?! ^^ I'm always on the move. By bike, car, bus, kite, train, plane, walking... you name it. Not so much a -ism type of guy. Life's too short to become a static -ism. I enjoy having serious discussions as well as just joking around.

PHILOSOPHY

"As always, should you or any of your I.M. Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. [..] This tape will self-destruct in five [or, occasionally, 'ten'] seconds. Good luck."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love all music (seriously) - I've got some preferences tho. Find out which one!

Movies: There are too many movies to mention - not a big fan of Hollywood tho.

Books: Reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" right now.. for over 4 years already. I think I've read some parts twice.. Definitely gonna finish it this year... maybe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did the opposite from what every one was recommending me. ^^ Nah, but I don't like the word 'amazing' .. I prefer 'interesting'. I don't care if things turn out good or bad but they've gotta be _interesting_ - if this is the case then it was worth the sweat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning definitely never stops - it's a pity one will never be able to learn everything there is tho.
In either case, let me tell you: You've gotta have lived at least once in the Netherlands! Preferebly right after finishing school when you have still no clue what life's gonna be about. You won't know it afterwords but it definitely helps getting there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, a lot of laughter, world's greatest pancakes...
