Hey there! I'm Bastiaan, a 19 years old guy from the Netherlands. I live in Gouda ( some of you might know it from the world famous Gouda cheese). I'm a spontaneous guy who is very passionate about everything he does.
At the moment I'm still in high school, and living with my parents, so it is impossible to offer a couch now, but as soon as I'm done with this school and I move to Amsterdam to study there, there will always be room for someone!
I'm very interested in foreign cultures (always have been) and I'm planning to see them all!
I really hope to see the culture of the country in which I'm travelling, so if you ever turn out to host me, don't hesitate to take me to the weirdest places: I'll like it ;)
I really like sports, I practice Aikido and snowboarding. I'm especially passionate about Aikido, and I'm planning to have my own dojo one day!

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I literally like it all. It dependa purely on the occasion or the people with who I am. When I'm alone I tend to listen to EDM and trance a lot. As for movies and books, I prefer the fantasy genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Plan a snowboarding/skiing trip to Austria for my school. It's really awesome when you see that 80 people all have a great time, just because you made it happen :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and Dutch as I'm fluent in both. I can also tell you a lot about Latin, might you be interested ;)
I'll really learn anything you have to offer. I'm a very curious person, so I'm probably interested in anything you say.
