About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm from The Netherlands and I've lived abroad for a few years during my studies. Now I've been living in Amsterdam since 2 years. After finishing my MD-PhD degree, I've started a spin-off biotech company to develop cancer drugs. I love having new experiences, learning new things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing helped me out a lot when I was traveling before, so now that I have a nice apartment here in Amsterdam I would like to return the favor to the community. Besides, I always enjoy meeting new people from around the world!

Interests

Playing lots of sports, anything from boxing, basketball, cycling, rollerblading to ultimate frisbee and surfing. I like all kinds of music, mostly electronic. I love to hear awesome travel stories from fellow travelers and share some of my own over a couple of beers.
