Lived in Bangkok for 7 years..had to leave for 2..now I'm back whenever I can! 😍

CURRENT MISSION
Trying to get my life back in Bangkok. I enjoy all things that this metropolis has to offer, but what I really love are the more local things, for instance the real authentic Thai bars here, that have a very different vibe from bars back home, local night markets, etc.

ABOUT ME
I'm very easy-going. Love to travel, meet new people, talk, go for drinks, clubbing, eat out,..whatever. I try to take things as they come: a wasted day is the one without laughs.

PHILOSOPHY
Look deeper.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hosted CS-ers a few times in my hometown in The Netherlands.
I've lived in Bangkok for 7 years, but nowadays I only spend 3 months a year there. No spare bedroom and a small couch..so VERY limited facilities for someone to crash. But I still love to show people around the city...day- AND nighttime.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Over the years I have organized and hosted dozens of events..mostly meet ups for food and drinks, visits to markets, some nightlife/clubbing. I hosted some folks from Czech, Germany, the USA and China. I visited some CS-ers in Thailand and the US. All of these were good experiences, some of them where even fantastic, and I'll go out of my way to see those new friends again in the future.

Interests

Love to go out for drinks and eat, shop, clubs, sports and games, the movies, talk for hours...Everything can be enjoyable, if the company is good.
I'm not someone who can sit around and do nothing for a longer period of time, haha..

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies/series: Goodfellas, Big Night, Heroes, Densha Otoko, Soprano's, Departures.
Music; so much..too much
Books: the Discworld series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won't list the "amazing" things that I've done and seen. I now realize that the best and most important experiences are small, common moments with friends and family.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well..what do I (think I) have to offer...? I can teach you to shoot pool, have stupid discussions 'bout philosophy, make cocktails and cook almost everything. But mostly: I can show you the Thai side of Bangkok.places that most tourists/visitors will never see.
If you're staying at my place, I'll try to make your stay as pleasant and interesting as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and drinks, a few stories and most important: introducing them to my friends.
