Hello there! I am a Dutchie, a tour guide, a lover of history and a discoverer.

I love to meet new people and to share stories, laughs ans experiences. That is one of the great joys of life.

Since 2013 I have been working in both Norway and the Netherlands, shifting between being a tour guide in Western and Northern Norway and a telesales worker and freelancer in the Netherlands. Life of a nomad :-)

I can sometimes guests in Leiden!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did my first ski jump when I was 37, in the Norwegian town of Molde. The local kids loved it and gave me a nickname: The flying Dutchman

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to share my knowledge and experiences, especially in history, the languages and I speak, and the pubs that I favour ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, a warm dry place for the night, a hearty welcome and if I have time a good meal and a visit to a choice pub.
