Hi I'm Aschwin but everybody calls me Asch. I'm 35 years old living in The Hague, Netherlands and working as a SCRUM Master at an IT company in Gouda. I spend my spare time on the bike (gravel), hanging with friends, DJ-ing (techno, psytrance, downtempo) and rowing. When I travel I mostly like to do back- or bikepacking and meeting lots of new people.

Good to know about me:
- Dog and cat lover
- I'm a tidy and clean person
- An extremely talkative introvert
- Straight, single and not looking to mingle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My plan it to move to Zurich in 2025, so I'm traveling to Switzerland a lot to visit friends and make lots of new ones :) Normally I spent my vacations in hostels and meet fellow travelers, but now I'd to meet more of the locals.

I can talk forever about self realization and consciousness. I can coach you in English or Dutch with something that's currently challenging in your life and can give you tips on story telling and public speaking (Toastmasters).

What I Can Share with Hosts
