Hi all,

My name is Nelson and I am currently residing in Groningen, NL where I am studying for my doctoral degree at the University of Groningen (RUG). I am born and raised most of my time in Suriname, a tropical country in South America.

In my free time, I like to take pictures of the surrounding of Groningen. Furthermore as well of places I have visited or events I have attended. For an extended list of my pictures, please check my instagram profile:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would say to spare some bucks for other activities but also to meet people when possible. I usually travel alone and at times would felt the loneliness kicking in. The Couchsurfing platform provides a means to meet with others and or locals and learn more about each other.
