Overview
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.

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.

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.
