About Me

Nice to meet you!
I'm a positive, optimistic trying-to-be-outgoing relatively well-mannered 21-year-old that occasionally goes to far in trying to enjoy myself all the time. It's very possible to have a good conversation with me, but I don't take responsibility if we somehow end up on a party you've never expected to be an hour before. I won't get you in any trouble, unless you want me to.
Some lifelessons (two of many):
Be optimistic.
Bad ideas lead to the best stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

About a year ago, I figured it'd be a damn lot of fun to be able to suddenly go out and end up on a couch in a far away country somewhere. It also seemed fun to have people do the same to my very couch. Then I realised I didn't have a couch for people to crash on.
Luckily, now I do! And everyone is free to use it. Of course, I want to take this opportunity to do some travelling on my own too...

Interests

Most of my free time is spent with my friends, chilling at home, drinking in a bar or hanging out at the best student association in the city. I've been playing the guitar for a few years now, but I'm still not very good at it. Other than that, I'll play the occasional video game, or you know, maybe even study.

Music, Movies, and Books

"What's your favourite music?" is a question that keeps troubling me. There is A LOT of music out there, and also a lot of ways to define it. I find it very hard to choose only a few, because there's just such a giant portion of it that I like. You could say I'm into all kinds of music, from dance to classical, alternative, reggae, rock, alternative, ska or punk. The only exceptions are really metal and hardstyle, but even there there's something to enjoy. If I really have to pick something that really boats my float, then I'd say I prefer psychedelic rock.

For movies: there's so much that makes a movie good, genre barely matters. I love Pulp Fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a book once. A children's book, from when I was 12 till I was 16. Got it published. Didn't sell.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bad ideas lead to the best stories.
I'm not talking about jumping off the roof.

I made a deal with a good friend of mine regarding bad ideas. Whenever someone comes up with a bad idea that's not like jumping off the roof, we'll have to fulfil it. We ALMOST stole a door once, but it mainly gets us drunk.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, my love, or my hand if you need something fixed, cleaned or cooked. Also music, if I brought my guitar.
