About Me

Hi there, I'm a 25 year old wantrepreneur(want to be entrepreneur) from the Netherlands. I just finished my law degree, but now trying to make it as an entrepreneur. I'm working on an unique concept, selling only the most durable and sustainable goods online. Next to that I wait table at a small diner, which is a temporary job to pay for my bills.

In my spare time I love to do a variety of things, I love to go into nature, to make long walks in the woods or on the beach. Also I love to camp in nature, preferably wildcamping.

I love to read inspiring books like The Power of Now, or Ishmael. Looking for a recommendation? Hit me up :)
Also I love to do sports, whether it be weightlifting, calisthenics or yoga. My girlfriend and I recently took up Acro Yoga and really love it. We'd love to meet up with like minded people.
I am big into mindfulness and expanding my awareness, which is why I meditate, read a lot about it and try to surround myself with likeminded people.

I'm pretty sure I am forgetting stuff, but hey no worries.. ✌️
I'm always open for new adventures and love to try out new stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer my girlfriend and I hitchhiked from the Netherlands to Portugal on our way to a festival. We met up with so many 'strangers' who were the kindest and gave us rides and great conversations. Amazing to experience the connections you can make in such a short time.
It gave me a great insight in how much fun it is to meet different people from different cultures and backgrounds.
I'd love to meet more people from different countries and I hope to find this through CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked up Mount Swinica(2300m. alt.) all by myself. Although it being quite dangerous, everything went very smoothly and it was one of the most epic adventures I've had so far.
Also last summer my girlfriend Roos and I hitchhiked from the Netherlands to Portugal. Despite it being quite the distance and peopling telling us we were out of our minds, we managed to do it in 5 days. The great conversations and meeting all kinds of people on the road made this to be an amazing adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have read loads of books in my life in the self-development section, as well as mindfulness, so I can share my knowledge in this field.
I love to have deep conversations about the meaning of life, but also just laugh at silly jokes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations, as well as great food made by my girlfriend(with a little help of mine).
