Freedom and space for creation is very important in my life.

One of the things I have been working a lot on for the past years is moving away from work-focused life. Life is more than just working and money. More than paying bills, spending time in an office doing work you're not really passionate about.

Passion! That's something that drives me currently. Yoga, tantra, ecstatic dance, making music (I started playing guitar and love to sing), sharing and traveling.

I just returned from 3 months in Bali where I led a very healthy life, including yoga and tantra on a daily basis.
There I got so inspired that I decided to start playing guitar and sing - and it's working out!

Now I'm back in the Netherlands, still working some hours in the week doing my IT job. However I am no longer working 40 hours a week - I just work the amount of hours I need to fund my basic needs. No longer chasing money or stuff - letting go of materialism.

Besides this, I am a beginning bodyworker (dearmouring) - currently offering practice sessions until I feel that I can start charging money.

I've been traveling a lot for the last 4 years! So I have a lot experiences to share, especially around yoga, tantra and meditation.

Besides these concious things, I'm very much into extreme sports such as snowboarding, kitesurfing and scuba diving.

I'm very social and love to be around people, and at times respecting my own personal space and have some "me-time".

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I would love to meet some people here that have a space to share. As said I am very flexible in my time (working remote for some hours in the week) - so lots of time to hang out or to share!

I'm tidy and respectful of others. I see myself as a perfect roommate! :-)

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

So I mainly listen to house music, mixed with some "tribal ecstatic dance" music - don't really know how to label it, but slow and deep bass tunes where you can really dance on!

I don't watch that much TV anymore (no public channels for years) - but sometimes a movie on Netflix for example.

Books I'm currently reading are spiritual, for my own growth.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Roadtrip with a red sports wagon on my own, going through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, ferry to Sardinia, ferry to Barcelona, back through France and Germany to get home! 4200 km driven!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I could teach you more about the Dutch language or customs
Or I could teach you snowboarding!

I also have quite some experience with yoga and tantra, which I'm also able to share with you!

I'm still learning to play the guitar (now at basic chords and bar chords - already know a few songs to play with basic chords)

My job has been in IT (computer technology) for about 14 years, I know a lot about anything related to computers or electronic devices. I might be able to teach you some things around this too :-)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I love to share experiences, my skills or just lending a hand at your place. Maybe we can go somewhere, go explore, be a tourist, make some nice pictures (I can bring my camera!) or do some musical jamming, laughing and having fun!
