Easy going guy, living in Wormerveer just outside Amsterdam, in a nice appartment right next to the railway station and the river (Zaan). It's in the old center right above/next to restaurants, cafe's and shops. I work as a campaigner for a non-partisan pro-democracy NGO and I regularly write for newspapers and magazines (plus a few books). I'm also into esoteric stuff, especially anthroposophy.

I love music, going out, dancing, a good smoke, movies, the beach, philosophy, history, social sciences.

My social media are www.facebook.com/arjen.nijeboer and www.instagram.com/arjennijeboer and if you google me, you'll also find enough :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I like to meet people from all around the world who share my interests. Plus I like the sharing economy and I think life for all of us would be much more pleasant if we would help each other more.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Was directly involved in making citizen-initiated referendums possible in my country, and gained several other political victories as a campaigner as well :)
