ABOUT ME

Hi there! My name is Mike, and I'm from a tiny little country called the Netherlands, Amsterdam to be exact. I just finished travelling in Tanzania and South Africa, and my plan is to go to Japan which has been a dream of mine for a long time so I'm very excited! A couple of years ago I lived, worked and traveled for almost two years in Australia. I'm an easy-going, open minded, laid back, friendly, social, honest person. I love traveling, I love meeting new people from different cultures and I hate filling in profiles like this one right here ;)
