Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

after some unofficial and other hosts that accidentaly happend because of meeting backpackers on the streets and in the café where i used to work, i descided to open this account. now i hosted several people during the last years, I also couchsurfed myself... my first experiences were in Croatia with the most wonderful people on some of the nicest places on earth!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i never officialy couchsurfed or hosted before... it always happend accidentaly and unprepared. to have more of these experiences made me descide to make this account... i'm curious :)

...a few months later i can confirm that hosting as well as surfing are the best! it's the best way the meet new and interesting people and discover the world! i will recommend couchsurfing to everybody!

the things above is what I said back then...! Now, a few years later, couchsurfing is my favourite way of travelling!

and now, a few years later because ofmany reasons as not remembering my password, not being able to host,

Interests

music is my life, not that i have any talent for it, but i am a very good listener :) also the dancing part is really my cup of tea... i prefer reaggae, ragga, dub, dancehall, dubstep, balkan, swing, jazz and... many more. in the end, everything i can dance on and have no need to learn any basicsteps. because when there are too much rules, i quit because it's getting too much and for me the fun part is over then :)

i like people and the manner somehow everybody's different and beautiful in it's own way. i like to meet people and meet them again later on... just to see how they grew en to learn from them. i feel and find peace and rest in other people. without others to learn from and listen to, i really would be hyperactif or something like that

Music, Movies, and Books

too many to mention, but just to name one of each to give you an idea...

movie 'the fountain' (darren aronofsky)

book 'gaande weg, reis rond het leven in 33 dagen' (dimiti leue and stef stessels: poetry illustrated with photographs, you can translate it like 'going the way' or maybe also 'going a way' - 'a trip aroud the world in 33 days'. about a journey trough india, mali, mexico and china)

music 'manu chao' (says enough i guess...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once, when i was about 12 years old, i went on a journey with my parents and 2 sisters. we had two weeks of easterholidays and my parents decide to go to turkey. nothing special about turkey you might think, because also back then its coastline bursted of buildings and tourist stuff... completely wrong, it was the most amazing trip of my life, because we traveled with the public transport and avoided all the typical touristic places. we slept at peoples homes when we didn't find a hostel and met lots of locals who took us to the most amazing places and parties... so, the highlight of the journey was a traditional wedding of a young couple. ...i tell this story to indicate my interest in couchsurfing and the way of traveling which you just do and follow your feelings and not plan everything formerly. myself, i'm really bad at it... i'm getting nervous of too much options... but i'm learning :) ...feel free to help or join me!
