Hey everyone!

My name is Coen and probably like most of you I have a big passion for traveling and that is why I started to use couchsurfing. I have lived in 3 different countries so far and have always been surrounded by people from different nationalities and background. These experiences and different opinions and views are for the reason why I love traveling so much and why I like meeting new people.

My first real experience with couchsurfing was a couple of years ago when I lived in Canada for a year on a working holiday visa. I've met some amazing people because of this and now would really like to give back to the community by also hosting.

Since 2018 I’m back in Amsterdam where I entered working life, working for KPMG as a performance management consultant. I live with my girlfriend who likes couchsurfing as well so hosting people is more than fine. Amsterdam is an amazing place but you have to know your way around the tourist traps and hopefully I can help you with that.

Besides traveling I really enjoy just spending time with friends, grabbing a drink and exploring the city.

I live together with my girlfriend and open our place up for couch surfing while she’s abroad for work or when we both feel like hosting.

When traveling I enjoy meeting people from the places that I go. Couchsurfing for me is the best way to get to know people from the area and makes the travel so much more fun. I met so many great people while using Couchsurfing and I want to continue doing that by both hosting myself as staying with hosts while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host or meet up with other travellers and locals, have a beer, share stories and experiences.
