My name is Arnoud, nice to meet you.

I work for an airline, i'm not a pilot but a cabin attendant which means i go everywhere (a lot less pay though hahaha). It started as something i would do for one or two years and then really make something of my life, put all that time and money spend on studies to some good use. Guess what? that's over 12 years ago and still enjoying myself a lot. In my opinion travelling and encountering other cultures enriches my life more then any deskjob could ever do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically i am on here to meet likeminded people. Obviously i love travel and meeting other people. Try out new foods and new cultures.
Showing you my city and hopefully someone can do the same for me whenever i am somewhere in this world because of my work or just vacation.

Why am i not hosting? - well basically my roster comes only in short advance so there is a good chance i am not home, most people plan their trips months ahead and i just don't know my schedule by then. but if it's last minute and i'm home sure why not..

Why am i not looking for a host? - I should refrase this into why am i not looking for a place to stay? This is because 90% of the time i travel for work and my airline will provide me with a nice hotel. Of course this is different when i am travelling on vacation.

So if you are a fun person and willing to meet me then i would love to hear from you and hang out.

Edit: a few times a month I get offered a place to stay with a gay person which then makes known that he would like me to do "other" things as well. Now I'm sexually open minded and I don't mind getting cosy if I hit it off with someone really well but that person needs to be a girl because I'm 100% heterosexual. I do understand the confusion, most of my male co-workers are indeed gay and I always enjoy their company and have a some good laughs but I just want to make sure that I'm not wasting anyone's time here if you want to invite me over for something else then just hanging out.
