About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find some order in this temporary blip of complexity on an otherwise inevitable path towards delightful chaos

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

The point of life is life. Live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host now! After some amazing couch surfing experiences in Eastern Europe I am glad to be able to return something to the couchsurfers community. My brother and I live in a monumental building right in the most beautiful part of the old city centre. We would love to meet people from all over the world and show you the beautiful and fun city of Utrecht.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing about fouryears ago and have since had some fantastic experiences and shows of hospitality whilst cycling through Eastern Europe and travelling through the States. Now that I am back in Holland I am looking forward to hosting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled the length of the Danube river, saw the most beautiful nature and met the most interesting and friendly people.

I saw two guys fight each other with real lightning!

I spent three years of my life trying to straighten out wiggly lines. Little did i know they appeared to be squares pretending to look like circles in triangular disguise.

Watched a volcano erupt in front of the rising sun over a mountain lake.

I ate octopus alive

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a 4 person canoe which you can borrow to explore the canals of Utrecht. If you are lucky we might even have a spare bike. We also have a canoe that you can borrow to explore the canals of Utrecht
