I'm David, a big fan of deep conversations together with tasty food and classical music. I've preserved part of my childhood curiosity and I love to get fully immersed in new places.

I am currently doing a master's in economics and I am also active in a pluralism in economics organization that offers a platform for all kinds of economic ideas. Open study options are still urban planning and linguistics or international relations.

A couple of times per week I play volleyball and pool or table soccer in a bar on the weekend. With my friends, I typically cook together, enjoy a few bottles of wine and play board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best thing about travelling for me is to meet strangers that become your friends which you hopefully visit later or become pen pals (Yes, I still write letters). During the day I enjoy being outside in nature or discovering the culture and history of a new place. At night I love to cook together and to talk about basically everything (It is hard to find a topic I don't think is interesting).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German and Dutch if you like and help you improve your table soccer skills (depends on your level obviously).

If you need help with an academic paper or research, I'd also be up for that. I just enjoy learning new things and I'm pretty good at proof-reading and editing (social sciences and humanities).

I'd love to practice Spanish and French and cook together.
