PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem!
The greatest pleasures are the unexpected.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Good friends made us enthousiastic. They had great experiences in America and South-America. In august we had our first couchsurfers. We liked it a lot! We hope to host more travellers.

兴趣

I like biking (in the Netherlands and other countries); family and friends; different cultures; meeting new people; stories of travellers; talking; reading; travelling; trying new things; music; theatre/cabaret.
Marinus likes riding his motor and bike. But he gets even more excited when there is a strong wind and he can go windsurfing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In Sapa (Vietnam) we did an unplanned homestay. The family belonged to the Black Hamong, a hilltribe. The people were amazing. We were so lucky: the next day there was a annual boedhistic party. The people made new clothes for it. They killed a buffalo in a ceremonial way, they all drank ricewine and we had to drink with them of course :-). So we started at 9 am and were already a little bit drunk at 11 am ;-). It was one of the best days we had in Vietnam.

教，学，和分享

Cooking dutch food (Maybe we can make some for you when we surf your couch. We like 'stampot' a lot: its mashed potatoes with vegetables and meat, all mixed together). We also did a cookingcourse in Cambodia and Thailand. But we are not sure, how the dish will turn out, without any help ;-).
