CURRENT MISSION

Sit on my bike and smile :-)
Hopefully he will take me through New Zealand (check!), Australia (check!), Indonesia en south-east Asia until destinations yet unknown.

ABOUT ME

Total furniture-nerd, can work on and look at furniture for ever! Vegan, friendly, weird, lazy, and openminded. Don't like crowds. Or digital communication (which means trying to express feelings through a keyboard, but i'm quite happy using the digital world for face2face coversations).

PHILOSOPHY

Your fears may tell you otherwise, but you Always have a choice.

There is no greater gift, than giving itself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a few years there was never the opportunity to travel, so I hosted a bunch of people, to have a look at the world through their eyes. It gave me new insights into my own, but now I can finally get away from home.
And for the next year home is my bike, my furniture is my tent, and my couch might just as well be yours :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my first-time-ever-couchsurfing-experience it felt good, being able to provide someone i've never met before with a place to sleep and a short tour in this wonderful city.
Through their eyes my world becomes more beautiful everytime i get the chance to show it.

Interests

Trying to share this bulb of positive energy i feel inside before it bursts

Furniture!
Love the city I live in and drinking a beer with friends.

Cooking.

Sitting on my bike with all the stuff i need packed in 4 bags.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycle from this country to the mediterranean Sea, upon arriving turning around and cycle back north to the Mont St. Michel.
The 4600km in six weeks cost me about 10 kilo's but gained me a million smiles.

But mainly deciding to leave home and Travel, to meet people, see lives, talk and be amazed.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe i'm not the best teacher, but i can try on some dutch, furniture styles, cooking vegan, cycling.

One day i hope to learn to play the guitar.

With you i can share my house, and part of my life. Maybe together we can share this future world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have stories to tell even though i'm not a good storyteller, i can make rude or sad jokes, and i like to give hugs.
