My name is Bastiaan, I am 22 years old and currently living in Nijmegen, which is in the mid east of the Netherlands. I live in a student house together with 7 people. While busy with my studies, I try to travel as much as possible since I love exploring what the world has to offer, meeting new people and learning about other's cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

in my opinion, it doesn't matter if a place is beautiful or not; it is what you make of it. I believe that any voyage you make is enriched by getting in touch with local people. Of course, it's great to meet a lot of fellow travelers as well, but one can get a real taste of the country and immerse in the culture by meeting locals. This has been proven in my travels a couple times now, and these experiences i'll never forget. Therefore, i'd like to return the favour to anyone who is interested in visiting Holland and I will be happy to host you and show you around.
