About Me

Travelled the world (although still many places to go), either backpacking, biking, hitchhiking, car, (or work). (Sth-America, Caribbean, USA, Canada, nw Zealand, Australia, Europe) biking Thailand/Laos/Cambodja, Amsterdam to Barcelona etc. usualy for longer periods. My sole purpose for traveling is just being on the road, which i love, i never plan anything, as only the start of the journey, and then figure out where to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because i travel(ed) myself, so i know it's nice to be in a place of yr "own" ones in awhile, and because couchsurfing opens new possibility's to meet people traveling the world. Sofar there have been plenty of hitchhikers or other travelers staying at my house, and i enjoyed their company/stories, learning new things.

Interests

  • music books sports movies

Music, Movies, and Books

music: anything and everything (except maybe modern jazz),

Teach, Learn, Share

i just share with whatever info i have, if i can learn something u know all about i certainly will be interested in the how/what/where/when and on the teaching part..... depending on what u wanna learn and listen to.
sharing: i share (my house)/everything in it, but u have to stand on yr own feet, i am not a babysitter!!, not doing any guided tours, but i can give u tips of things i like in Leiden cq surroundings.
