About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live my life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

A little glimpse of me... a night owl, but I love the day to much to sleep (so I never sleep enough and have trouble waking up). Coffee is my addiction, just like dark dark chocolate, fresh fruit and veggies. Music, another addiction. I listen to music all day long and love to make music with other people. I don't make enough time to rehearse however, so I often improvise. Like with a lot of things. A little bit a jack of all trades: so many things to try and learn, difficult to choose. I'm spontaneous, but need to plan to get things done. An urge to be free, crazy, adventurous, challenging, spontaneous ... so a daily rhythm helps to keep my head clear (haven't found that rhythm yet). Hardly ever bored, only when I need to do stuff I don't want to (like administration). I'm curious and enjoy the little things in life.

My new adventure: Berlin!

PHILOSOPHY

dance - laugh - sing - enjoy the small things - be curious - be open - engage - feel - create - challenge your fears - be beautiful

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a couch surfer (and networker) and hopefully in the future as a host as well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on many couches, but not via this network yet. Used this network to get in touch with people and places and will definitely use this network for couchsurfing/ hosting soon.

Interests

Right now, my biggest interests are meeting new people in Berlin, discovering the city, finding people to make music with and new roommates to live, cook, laugh and have fun with.
