Hi!
I'm Eelco, a recent graduate from the Netherlands that is currently traveling the world - or attending the university of life as I like to call it.

I love meeting new people, talking about life philosophies, and experiencing different cultures.

My travel philosophy is that a light traveler is a happy traveler, as such I'm currently backpacking with just a 25L backpack with the bare essentials.

With regards to hobbies, I love dancing Salsa, bachata and kizomba; playing chess; all kinds of surfing; 2CV oldtimers; watching series & movies; reading (currently reading the wheel of Time series); and playing a game occasionally.

My current ambition is to go back to Asia and explore the continent by motorcycle!

As I am traveling for an extended period of time, I currently don't have a place to call home. For this reason I am currently unfortunately unable to offer a place to stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people, and because you can only really get a grasp for a country and it's culture by interacting with the locals
