Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING You can always send me a message if you are in Amsterdam and want to have a couch. I love showing people from other cultures around through the beautiful Amsterdam with all its canals and beautiful old buildings. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE This year I met three people from the USA, who I offered my couch after we had spoken for a couple of hours about the differences and similarities between the American and European/Dutch culture. They told me what couchsurfing is and this motivated me to participate in this worldwide community.
Music, Movies, and Books
Well, this one is a difficult topic, as I am a huge fan of theatres and movies, so I could put a whole list here, maybe you'd better invite me for an evening at the cinema.
One Amazing Thing I've Done

Always listen why cultures are the way they are. Do not judge to quickly. Every culture can have its own specific merit.
