About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about the world and finding out the truth behind history.

ABOUT ME

Last July I went on my first backpacking trip with a friend. It was an incredible experience and we met so many amazing people. I'm gonna travel alot more and see many more countries.
I like to have philisophical conversations, play board and card games. There is much more too me, but this should be enough for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment, and make every second count because our time on this beautiful Earth is already short enough!.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a surfer mostly. Although I only got to stay at one hosts place on my last trip, not due to lack of trying trust me =P.
I would love to host people but its a very inconvenient time for that right now so I'm sorry for that. But I would most definitely make time free for you if you want a guide or just want someone to hang out with here in The Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been in Italy on my last trip in the month of July and we found a host the second day we were in Milano. It was such a nice experience and had a great time. We also met quite alot of couchsurfers on our trip and all of them have been really nice.

Interests

Meeting people! After finishing my last trip I started thinking back what I liked most about it and it was most definetly all the amazing people I met so yeah meeting more people is one of the things I would like to do on my next trips. And I recommend youth-hostels they are great places for meeting them.

Ancient History. My trips will be about seeing the remains of old civilizations and to see for my self how much of this ancient story is still readable. I also love culture and to see how people are living there lives.
