Hello there!

Dutchie here who just got back in the Netherlands after a big trip. Started in 2018 in Nepal for working and traveling, did Work Exhanges in Singapore, went downunder and sailed the Pacific.

I travel to look for the beauty in our world, to see different cultures, learn new languages and meet other people.
I try to stay for a longer period in countries to really see the culture and customs of locals. Therefore I love the work-exchange-thing where you work somewhere in exchange for accommodation and food.

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. Always keen to meet new people and have a good talk, exchange ideas and travel experiences.

At the moment living and working close to Utrecht, Netherlands
Exploring my home country as much as possible and can't wait to go back out there traveling again!
