A active young minded guy that wants to experience as much as possible.

At the moment I am studying tourism and working part time as a chef in an Italian restaurant. When I'm not busy with school I like to undertake things with friends and hang out. Enthousiastic to meet new people or experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, espacially people from different countries or cultures. Staying in hostels and guesthouses made me realize that travellers are the most open, relaxed, interesting and friendly kind of people on the globe. As a student with a minimal budget still trying to explore the world and wanting to meet new people, couchsurfing might be one of the gateways to this goal.

Interests

My hobbies include: skiing, wall climbing, scuba diving, football(the European one), cooking, travelling, hiking and longboarding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and especially cook new receipes or with new styles, so if you like to cook as well we might learn each other new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share quite a few hidden gems in the Netherlands and Belgium that few people know about. My place in Breda is small and compact but it has everything necessary to hold out for a day or two and it is free. If you are interested you will always be welcome to hang out with my friends or family and experience the life in the Netherlands. Furthermore i am just an (sometimes over)active guy that likes to get the most out of everything so if you stay with me it will never be boring;)
