ABOUT ME

I like meeting people, trying new things and staying busy. I'm outgoing and always make time for my friends.

vegan / vegetarian

PHILOSOPHY

Qui audet adipiscitur (Who Dares Wins)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm doing my best to be a good surfer when I travel. My current living situation is not conducive to hosting but I am very much available for coffee or drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- Backpacked across Germany, Italy, Greece, and Spain in the summer of 2008
- Attend CouchSurfing events whenever possible

Interests

Conversation, music, politics, and history. I've never met a person I have nothing in common with.

Music, Movies, and Books

A few examples:

Movies: Dr. Strangelove, For a Few Dollars More, James Bond movies (don't judge me), Jurassic Park (still have raptor nightmares and I'm in my twenties) and Fail-Safe

Music: Bob Dylan, Rancid, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, The Tallest Man on Earth, Townes Van Zandt and the Rolling Stones

Books: Life of Pi, Crime and Punishment, What is the What, and Chasing the Flame.

Radio: You can usually find me listening to Radio Netherlands or NPR

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far I've been to Machu Picchu, walked on the man-made floating islands of Lake Titicaca, stood on the Acropolis of Athens, and helped build a house near Tijuana, Mexico but I think the best is yet to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I retain trivia pretty well so I could be helpful in a pub quiz.

I'm pretty good with computers and could help out with minor technical problems.

If you've got a guitar and want some help getting started I could teach you a few chords.

I'm not too bad of a cook so if you don't mind (or prefer) vegan food I could whip something up
