My name is Bouke, I grew up in the beautiful city of Nijmegen and I studied lawschool. Nowadays I work for the local government in the province of Noord-Brabant and I live nearby in Oss with my partner (see photo). We enjoy living in the heart of this city, with public transport, shops, bars and restaurants on walking distance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm primarily on Couchsurfing to invite other people in the nice city of Oss. I enjoy having guests and get to know new people. As we have the space to receive guests, I'd like to use that to make your stay as comfy as possible. I hope to receive guests who would also like to meet new people (a.k.a. your hosts ;) ) and who are intererested in the region.

Interests

I love hanging out with friends and family, especially with a good glass of wine or special beer. I also like to travel, whether it is a citytrip or a roundtrip in an interesting region.

Music, Movies, and Books

The three M's of my favorite music are Madonna, Muse and Moby. I buy all their cds and especially Muse and Madonna are fantastic live! And lately I've been listening a lot to Kasabian, Porcupine Tree and Agnes Obel.

I also like reading. My favorite books are from Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson.

My favorite movies differ from time to time. At the moment my favorite movies are Good Bye Lenin, Das Leben der Anderen, Milk, Scent of a Woman, Devil's Advocate, Fatal Attraction, The Wolf of Wall Street, Django, Looper, The Millenium series and Into The Wild.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every year in December, I go to a monastery for a few days to overthink the year I've had and everything that bothered or energized me. Every time it strengthens my belief and it gives a lot of peace.
