Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've mostly surfed couches but recently I've hosted my first two couch surfers. Had a blast both ways. Also meeting CS'ers to travel with has been a great adventure so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some minor CS experiences back at home, but I really started to surf during my USA West Coast trip in 2013. I've been to some CS meetings and in San Francisco I met up with a fellow CS'er to travel together. We ended up road tripping together for nearly 3 weeks. Together we surfed at homes in San Francisco, Oakland, LA, San Diego and Tijuana. These experiences were the best and are definitely part of my favorite experiences. On this trip I combined couch surfing with stays at hostels - I personally think it makes a good blend.

Interests

I think my most obvious interest is MUSIC. I can listen to it all day, like to play a few tunes for fun and work for musicians and festivals in Europe. Also, I like to read about music, just as I like to read in general.
After my West Coast trip it's safe to say traveling and adventuring are of interest as well - I can't wait to plan my next adventures. From hiking and biking, to city strolling and bar hopping, my adventuring interests are broad.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is too much to list.
I am into bands, varying from big pop/rock, to obscure underground.
see belmontbookings.nl to see what bands I work with.

At this moment I'm more into TV series than movies. My favorites today are Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy. I had my share of Friends and the Big Bang theory episodes as well.

Books. I love reading but somehow I hardly find time for it! My to-read pile is steadily growing. Last read: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling on my own.

Ocean kayaking in Tofino (Vancouver Island) was definitely an experience that I'll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I share a lot of music. I wouldn't call myself a teacher - BUT I managed to bake some crepes with American pancake batter.
