I'm a relaxed, optimistic & sportive guy with a broad, open mind. I live in Zaandam, 15 kms from Amsterdam Central Station.
I love2live & meet other people. Sharing things & experiences gives me the feeling of a rich life.
I got lots of requests (> 90%) from people who like to discover Amsterdam at night too.
I can imagine :-).
That's why you have to be aware Zaandam is NOT Amsterdam! If you like to discover Amsterdam also at night, it is very unhandy to travel at night back to Zaandam.
If you request your stay at mine, please mention me specific you'd like to stay in Zaandam. It's so sad that I have to decline almost every requests just because people didn't read properly where I'm living...
Also I'm out 9AM to go to work and return at 8PM. Good to know when I'll receive you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I'm not a guy of 'deep thoughts' but I enjoy life a lot in an easy way. To me it are the small things in life which make it beautiful. Can be everything: great music, movies, people, sporting, experiences, art & architecture, (veggie)food, salsadancing, cycling. going out with friends, my work...
Don't drink a lot, don't use other drugs than alcohol, however... some natural high maybe ;-)
Don't have a family or a partner, and I like that :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

However I'm not a teacher: I'm addicted of salsa dancing! If you are just as enthousiastic I am, probably I can teach you some salsa...
