I'm a Dutch salsa-dancing guy looking to ban cars from our cities! Just kidding, but I do like discussing this kind of stuff with people. It's my job, after all! I love traveling, reading and working in trains, I'm more focused and get to see the beautiful landscape change in the background. It's not always possible, since I'm a student and money is a constraint, but it's my preferred way of traveling! No surprise then that I'm also a big fan of international rail, and those who use it to travel. Especially hit me up if you can share some cool train stories and/or recommendations. Someday I'd like to have traveled by train in every country!
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Latin
Fluent in Catalan, Valencian
Learning German
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love traveling throughout Europe, and meeting new people!All amazing stories begin in two ways: Either a person goes on a journey, or a stranger comes into the city. I've met so many interesting people through hosting, travelling, working and dancing, and I'm continuing to do so. I'm also on Couchers and BeWelcome, some open-source CS Alternatives! https://couchers.org/user/ivotje50 and https://www.bewelcome.org/members/ivotje50.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Learned to fly a sailplane alone continuously for 2 hours above Germany! - Danced Salsa in Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Germany and Denmark - Took a night train to Luleå and participated in the ice skating Grand Prix - Saw the Semana Santa in Sevilla and Malaga
Teach, Learn, Share
I'll be very happy to teach you the basics of Salsa! If you want, I can also help you get started with other dances, golf surfing or programming, which is my study and main job. If you are obsessed in a specific thing, I will be very glad to hear! Obsessions are the best thing people can have!
