About Me

I'm spontaneous, enthusiastic and (almost) always happy. I love a lot of things, from talking about anything from science to music, experimenting (and failing) in the kitchen, "playing" music or pulling an all-nighter in a club.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I'd like to meet new people and share experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is quite vague, but here are some genres I listen:
Classical music,
Country,
Rock,
Hardrock,
Melodic metal,
Black metal,
Post-rock,
Post-metal,
(Older) electronic music (like massive attack),
70's, 80's & 90's pop
And a lot more...

Good books I've read are:
Dante Alighieri - Divina Commedia
Harry Mulisch - Discovery of Heaven (Ontdekking van de Hemel)
Dave Eggers - The Circle
W.F. Hermans - Beyond Sleep (Nooit meer Slapen)
Hector Malot - Nobody's boy (Sans Famille)
Yuval Noah Harari - Sapiens / Homo Deus
anything Tolkien or Rowling

I find movies hard to list, because, honestly, they usually don't have the same impact a book can have, but here are my top picks:
A Clockwork Orange
The Great Dictator
Her
Gandhi
Contact
The Man From Earth
Cloud Atlas
Mr. Nobody
Baby Driver
The Lady In The Van

My favorite series are Doctor Who, American Gods, Westworld and Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking trough the Hardangervidda (Norway).
Roadtrip trough Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with learning Dutch and with playing the piano and/or guitar (or, if you're interested, "technological stuff"). Other than that I can help you learn a lot of random things. Ever wanted to learn lockpicking, standing upright on a longboard or Morse? I'm your guy.

I'd like to learn as much as I can, about as much as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my home, my "knowledge" and my time. I'm open for almost anything so by all means, feel free to ask. I can also lend out a longboard so we can go out and explore.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
