Hi, I'm Bas.
I currently work as a surveyor on the Afsluitdijk. Which is an iconic structure of the Netherlands.
I have always loved learning new things, so when I started with learning Spanish I really wanted to learn more, explore, talk, experience the cultures and all that comes with it. Learning a language feels like exploring a new world, which is so cool. My main goal is therefore polishing my Spanish and getting more immersed in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first I was a little skeptical about traveling but once I took the step to go alone to Mallorca I was sold.
I love diving in the deep so to say, just not knowing what lies ahead of you, that makes it so fun for me. Exploring, meeting people, sharing, and especially learning is my main motivation to travel.
I have only been to Mallorca and Barcelona so far, where I stayed in a hotel, but I like the idea of couch surfing as well.

My dream is to speak Spanish fluently, like near perfect, in a both formal, and informal manner. For work and leisure, I'm a long way now but I need more immersion with speaking. Also learning Russian low key but that will take some time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: reggeaton, Ludovico Einaudi, Andre Hazes
Movies: Interstellar, best movie that I've ever watched. It brings some astronomy and physics with it, which I am interested in, therefore making it a really great movie. You also need to search up some physics afterwards to understand why certain things happen in the movie.
Books: 12 rules of life, Invicto.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo traveling to Mallorca. Going out alone, immersion in the Spanish language, discovering places, meeting people, that was the best decision I made.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to talk about philosophy or psychology. Interested in playing piano, learning languages, and photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A laugh, calm, very hygienic (yes, can't help it.), no worries, generous, and understanding.
