About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go places, experience life, and be free (for now)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old guy. I enjoy the balance between social life, city life and nature. I skateboard every now and then to let out my energy.
I spend most of my time around friends, but I'm also good at entertaining myself. I just finished college and am now traveling to enjoy my time while I still have relatively few responsibilities. I lived abroad for a year in total: half a year in Barcelona and half a year in Munich. I am pretty easy going and get along with almost anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Observe and experience. I feel like lately I have become more observant and accepting, so I suppose some cliche philosophy like live and let live might fit. It's hard and maybe a bit too serious though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would show people around in the southern part of the Netherlands, and am open to surfers once I get my own place... Although for now, hosting is kind of hard for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I've been in America, I've met a lot of nice people through CouchSurfing. It's just interesting to get to meet people through CS which you normally would most likely never get in touch with. CouchSurfing made my travels what they are and without CS my trips would most likely be way more boring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The trip I am on at the moment through the States has already been one of the most amazing things I've done and seen, and I still have a lot of awesomeness ahead of me. Meeting new people every week and also seeing so much beautiful nature in such short time is pretty much the best thing you can see and do.
