CURRENT MISSION

bringing cultures closing together by bridging cultural gaps

ABOUT ME

Couch surfing is a special way to bring cultures together. in my research I am focused on cultural differences (a sociological study) and by participating in couchsurfing I hope to help bridging gaps between cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Adding to others life as well as your own life by building on a worldwide community.

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.

Teach, Learn, Share

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