We stumbled upon a meeting for couch surfers in Lisbon whilst on our way to the BOOM festival. There we discovered that couchsurfers are not strange at all and actually really nice and friendly.

So we are a couple, maybe a little bit above the average age of the couch surfers but still young at heart. We love a good underground party now and then but we'll pass on pub crawls.

Next to that we eat Vegan. No problem if you are not a Vegan, but please be considerate and... No ham in my fridge please.
And do not worry, we do not only eat lettuce, which we are more than willing to show you over elaborate dinner :-D

(we are open to gay/muslims/heterosexual and whatsoever)
We have 1 double (matrimonial) bed. Blow-up beds or matrasses can be put on various places. Please contact us.

By the way, Cathelijne (the female part of this couple) is keeping track of this page. So most likely you will be in contact with her first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to visit another country. Also, prices are crazy in European countries! Travelling gives you an open mind and broadens your horizon! And isn't it great to experience mutual trust in people and society?!

Interests

Photography, modern and contemporary dance and I must say almost all art, in all its forms
We are really into food..
And just enjoying life in general... A picknick in the park, an unsuspected birthday party with a bonfire somewhere in the countryside...
Non-Interest in commercial parties in big venues...

Music, Movies, and Books

Acid, House and Psytrance music.
Reggae, world music.. OMG, don't get me started.. Regarding music.. it is actually too much to sum it all up.
We love chill out music as well, would love to visit an opera someday... Modern day classic music (phillip glass?!) can sometimes bring a tear to our eyes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just quit our jobs and start travelling Central America for a year...
Live in Costa Rica, the most beautiful country on the planet Earth. Everyday still we wish we were still there...

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday we learn something new, because you are never too old to learn. I love how people from all over the world give you different insights and perspectives about what is going on in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We just love to meet new people and connect with them. Next to that we looooove to cook dinner for you... you like curry? Or a pasta? With food the world connects. You are what you eat....
