About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying everything that crosses my path

ABOUT ME

I'm very eager and always seeking for adventure. I hope I will always remain this eager. I've lived in Den Haag for my whole life now and I'm really geting bored of it. I want to raise my experience through new cultures, sceneries and surroundings; to make a tall story short: CouchSurfing! Because when surfing couches, you can really see what a country has to offer you. Furthermore I want to adapt my journeys for the screen and make beautiful documentaries of it. That really means I have to go to the film-academy first :)

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know why I live, but if God exists, he wouldn't really like my lifestyle, haha..
But my real personal philosophy is to learn as much as posible from everyone around me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to parcipate by offering couches and profoundly explore the couches I sleep on!

Interests

Thinking out and watching beautiful movies. Being surrounded by different cultures, listening to music and last but definetely not least: chill out with friends (accompanied by a nice glass of whatever) and philosophising about everything that we can think of!

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes, I think there are plenty good movies, but unfortunately there are alot of crap-movies as well. And I'm sure that every genre music has at least one good song.. as long as you aren't prejudiced.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think everyone must have been to the Lofoten in Norway in his life. That's the most fairly-like place I've ever been.
Futhermore I've had great experiences in Latvia and Riga especially: just so far away from the western civilization. An experience I really didn't want to miss.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would really like to learn new languages and I'm sure that's posible through the CouchSurfing-project.
I don't have that many traveling-experience yet, but I think it's really important to take into account, before you leave:
- Don't have to many expectations: so you won't be surprised by things that occur and you won't feel dissapointed after.
- Don't plan too much: you'll miss alot while being busy planning:)
