CURRENT MISSION
To meet interesting people, experience other cultures and discover new places.

ABOUT ME
People describe me as friendly, easy-going and passionate. Direct in communication, but polite and receptive. I like to discuss ideas and hear about others stories. Tall like almost every Dutchman.

PHILOSOPHY
Live thoroughly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to start couchsurfing because I like to meet other people by either being a visitor or a host. The best way to get to know a city is to meet people who are eager to show their city and their culture. By hosting I want to provide people the opportunity for a comfortable stay in Rotterdam and introduce visitors to Dutch culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Quite broad. From Classical to Blues, Trip-Hop, Indie, Folk, 70’s.

Movies: All movies which ignite some form of puzzlement in me, such as Ex Machina, Melancholia, The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, La Grande Bellezza, Tarkovksy’s Stalker. I also like British (crime) comedies such as Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Layer Cake, Filth.

Books: Lots of continental philosophy. I’m primarily interested in the relationship between technology and humans, modern art and postmodern theology. I don’t read a lot of fiction, but I do like Russian literature. Also can’t miss design and cooking books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Midwinter trip to Moscow. Still got my toes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to exchange cultural and travel experiences. I'm always up for doing some sports, making music together, cooking some food, having some drinks and going out in the city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kind, polite and easy-going company. Dutch culture, language and culinary dishes. Teach you how to tie surgical knots. Introduction into any continental philosopher you want to hear about. Couch-to-share.
