ABOUT ME

Witty, charming, funny, interesting, dedicated to helping people, passionate and smart.
Not necessarily in that order, but all true!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try helping whenever I can, usually by showing people around and teaching them little things about the city. And I do mean the interesting things, not the boring stuff!
At the same time, I try to take advantage of the opportunity to learn something myself, as it is always interesting to meet and discover new cultures.

Interests

I live and breathe bits & bytes. As a geek, I'm into computers, technology and the never ending world wide web.
I'm also fond about travelling, learning and really getting into different cultures. As a kid, I had the opportunity to travel quite a bit, and the passion never stopped.
Discovering little but fascinating gems in a place, and learning stuff whereever I go, are what drive me.
And music of course. I'm into the good old rock, genre 70's - 80's when the good stuff was still made. I enjoy more modern music as well, and I have a weird fascination for J-Pop. Not kidding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-fi or Horror movies are the ones I like the most. Nothing like getting a good scare once in a while :) Thrillers and Action are excellent as well. Not really into Drama, but there are of course some good ones out there

Books: mainly Fantasy, but I enjoy reading about Travelling, especially books describing an adventure. But also even just plain country guides

Music: Rock & (J-)Pop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Japan, which I visited in March 2011 really struck me. I was there when the quake struck, though I was quite a distance away from the epicenter. However, through that experience, I got to see the Japanese people in a calm, and in a more upsetting sense.
The beauty of it all was, that there was no real difference between the two. Even in a traumatic enviroment, everyone stayed rather calm and organized. Not because they didn't care, but just because they're like that. Always in a hurry and on the move, but very Zen at the same time.
A thing of beauty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can find you a beer you'll like in only 3 tries max! Often, 1 is enough!
If not, you'll have had fun trying!
