About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding any kind of ambition

ABOUT ME

I am relaxed, trying to find some ambition, having finished two studies, working, but somehow rather wanting to become a novelist, and trying to become one.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? As if there is any choice not to live it? Strange question.
Not to say: I enjoy life in quite many things. Yesterday I discovered my neighbour plays the piano beautifully and I was flabbergasted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, this could be better. I have no creditcard, no verification. I have had one guest, never surfed up to now, but with the summer coming up, who knows?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just one Polish guy stayed at my place. I showed him town, a musical festival, explained the things he needed to know about studying in Groningen.

Interests

Literature, writing, Indie-music, playing chess, squash, lying and sitting in the sun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the Northerlight.
Done, well, that's for later.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ah, so I know a bit about philisophy and am interested just to get to know another person, whatever background. Rather no chitchat, but ussualy questions that are a bit bold.
