Hello there! My name is Etienne and I am from the Netherlands traveling around the U.S. I am mostly visiting National Parks, but every now and then a city will pass :-). I like outdoor activities such as running/hiking/surfing/snowboarding and more! I like to cycle around seeing as I am Dutch. I like to make electronic music in my freetime besides working at ASML (the company that produces systems that produce computer chips).
I am a real chatter and would love to meet new people on this amazing adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and travel around the U.S. a bit cheaper :-). My trip started in Vegas and ends in San Fransisco.
Besides... I don't like going to hotels because I would feel too secluded from everything else. I like the personal experience and am rather font of meeting locals like this!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some of the languages that I speak, or teach you about music production and/or martial arts. I could also help you in Physics with more of a specialisation in quantum mechanics (or is this going too far?)

Someone to talk to and share experiences with. I can offer some background in my love for food or check the teach learn and share section :-)!
