About Me

I am from the Netherlands and I run an expedition company and take people out to explore remote parts in the world. I am attracted to the North and addicted beings outdoor in the mountains, coastal areas and small islands. Exploring for me means kayaking, diving, hiking, caving, sailing, explore mountain trails and so on. There is a kind of love affair going on between The North and me (Norway, Spitsbergen, Iceland and Greenland). In 2017 I organize expeditions in the north of Norway. I am traveling with a sailing ship and stay at places for a relative short time. I like to help people who got stuck and have no place to sleep.

Max stay is 1 day! (I like some days off because I people that join my expeditions all the time). Doesn't make sense to ask me weeks before because I am travelling myself and won't be there anymore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious and I want to learn things and new people. I now from organising my expeditions that it's important that you know people and connect to people, because you my might need them and they might need you one day. I like to help and host people that got stuck in a place, cannot find a place to sleep and offer them a place to sleep for one night. I am not attracted to people that are just out for a cheap or free place to sleep.

Max stay 1 night! Note that I am traveling myself with a ship and don't stay long at one place. So don't ask me more than a week before.
