About Me

-- About my personality--
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.

It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

It's not about the monuments and attractions in the city, it's about the people you meet there that makes the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world! I love to meet new people and trowing myself in new environments. Couchsurfing is so much more then just sleeping on someone's couch. It's about becoming personal with somebody you haven't met before and being able to trust each other, opening up.
See how beautiful people are and that the world is a good place to live in.
Exploring new cultures and doing crazy things: fack yeah!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like to use this area for my best completed bucketlist items :-)

1. Starting my own company in december 2015.

2. Buy a one-way ticket to Barcelona to see if I could live like a digital nomad (DN). Eventually stayed there for 3 months.

3. Go from Almelo to Berlin on an electric unicycle. First time I actually started using Couchsurfing!! Then see if I could live there again like a DN. Eventually stayed there for 2 months and later on another month.

4. Working together on a company instead of being a lone wolf.

5. Got my own place and started hosting people on Couchsurfing!

6. Going from Enschede to Lisbon on an electric unicycle
