A Dutchman of 25 years old, a European Studies graduate and current student of Journalism.

From a young age I wanted to travel the world. Every person has a story and I am interested to hear everyone's. To not travel the world and to not see life as one big adventure would be one of the biggest mistakes a person can make. In the upcoming years I am planning to see as much of the world as possible, starting with Europe. As a graduate of European Studies I feel like it is my duty to see as much of Europe as possible. I love our continent for all its different cultures, history and languages.

I am an open-minded person eager to hear people's stories and experiences. Once I move to Amsterdam in a couple of months, I will be happy to provide shelter to likeminded people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the past couple of years I stayed in hostels during my travels most of the time. And although staying in youth hostels is an amazing part of the experience, I feel like travellers can learn more about and from each other when they see how the other lives. I want to be able to offer hospitality to likeminded travellers and to experience cultures through conversations. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to achieve this.
