My name is Casper, I'm a 22 year old Dutch student who loves travelling, art, history, politics, beer and good chats. I also know how to juggle and ride a unicycle. I'm addicted to nuance and coincidence, Jerusalem is my favorite city in the whole wide world and I have developed a very strong atheist obsession with monasteries. I just finished my BSc in International Development, and I'm starting an MA in European History in September. More importantly, I'm looking forward to meeting y'all!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm a great lover of coincidence and the beautiful moments it often creates. Couchsurfing is a great way to boost the likelihood of chance encounters taking place that you'll never forget and that enrich everyone involved in one way or another.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

To climb a Chinese hill with Chinese students and to reach an abandoned part of the Chinese wall: the moment I stood on top of a watchtower attached to the wall was just amazing.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Practical skill: juggling. Don't think it will be of any use, but yes, I can. Furthermore, I'm offering good conversations. Oh, I also used to play the trumpet and I can make paper roses out of napkins.
