Hello everyone!

At the moment I'm backpacking around the world, to enjoy this life-dream I had for a long time. After some internships abroad, my interest in traveling, meeting new people, and having new experiences every day started to grow. Since January I'm on my trip around the world, and hope to see and experience a lot of things on my everyday-expanding-wish-list. The reason I want to couch surf is simple: meeting local people is the best experience I had so far while traveling.

I am a 25 years old Dutch guy, living in 's-Hertogenbosch. I've played football since I was a kid, and that's where I met most of my best friends. The beauty of sports is something that can hardly be written down by words. Like sports, I grew up listening to music all day. The cool thing about traveling is that music is as different as cultures can be all around the world.

Before I started traveling I finished my bachelor in Industrial Engineering and master in Supply Chain Management. For the next two years I work for Malmberg in 's-Hertogenbosch where I took my first steps of becoming an Industrial Engineer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to compare all the amazing stuff you do while traveling, since all experiences are extremely different. But doing an internship in China when I was 19 years old, makes me feel proud.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some people have everything, and other people don't.
But everything don't mean a thing if it ain't the thing you want.

Take good care of your mom and dad
