About Me

Easy going. Love to travel, not going somewhere but being somewhere. Next destination is probably Argentina or Chili. Did mostly cycle trips across the world. But also some backpacking. Through-out the last 15 years I have been traveling and I met a lot of amazing people that help me a lot, just saying hello, ride up with me for a week, offering a place to sleep... so nice. With couch surfing I like to also help people with a place to stay, showing them around my amazing city called Amsterdam.
Still doing a lot of traveling myself, to be honest, more backpacking then biking. But there is still a (destination unknown) big cycle trip around the world on my bucket list.
I studies business administration and work currently as an analyst in IT for one of the biggest producers of Motor bikes, Yamaha

NB_1: With a full-time job, very active in sport and social life I am most of the time not available for socializing(sometimes). If you are looking for a travel guide or somebody that wants to party 24/7 look somewhere else :-) What I can offer is a relaxing place to sleep.

NB_2: Don't get this as an offensive thing, but I don't enjoy hosting couples as much as two-guys or two girls. I don't like to be the 3th wheel in my own house. And enjoying things is what CS is about.

NB_3: Lately a lot of people use CS as a hotel service(a free place to sleep) please go to www.booking.com or pay me. Be a bit creative in showing your appreciate for a free place to sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy while you can, stay as close to yourself as possible, and most important: 'What you give is what you get!!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have a room available that I don't use and I would like to host occasionally some travelers. There is a double bed available. You are, of course, also welcome to use the rest of the apartment, which is located on the sixth floor and has a very nice view :-) Its located in a very green area in Amsterdam!

Interests

Cycling, different cultures, films (recently more series) Love to ride my bike! both racing, mountainbike or through the city.
