Happened to be born and raised in the Netherlands. Always eager to hang out with couchsurfers, to have a good time together, and to broaden each other’s perspectives on life.

I travel around whenever there's the possibility, because I believe staying in one place in a big world like this is utter nonsense.

Currently writing my masters thesis.

Sometimes back in Amsterdam and glad to host anyone looking to avoid the absurd accommodation costs.

There’s an old podcast episode about me. Look up “Hidde Zwirs - The Student Backpacker” on Spotify if you’re interested!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like the idea of communal living and sharing things
