ABOUT ME

I am an academic, friendly, easy to talk to, calm
Love hiking, swimming and running as long as it is outdoors

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to go out for a walk and/or a beer and show you some of the nice views Nijmegen has to offer.

I prefer to have one guest at a time and to take time to get to know each other, possibly over a vegetarian meal. I have space for up to three guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It all started with surfing in Paris during the 2008 Rendez-Vous. After having travelled and surfed a lot for the past few years, I am now glad to offer a couch myself.
