About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover more of the world, discover more of myself

ABOUT ME

Hi, I am a laid-back dutch guy, looking for fun and trying to show other people a good time. I have started couchsurfing years ago and met a lot of amazing people.
I just want to see more of the world and all the great people in it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a game: the more you play, the better you get!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people and showed them around Rotterdam. I have surfed while traveling through eastern europe and even in the Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One thing I noticed while showing my first surfer around Rotterdam, is that I started looking at my own city in a very different way. Couchsurfing, whether it is hosting or surfing, makes you appriciate so much more of the world around you.
