**Became a dad in March, 2018. Happy to help with info, can't give you a place to sleep.**

A young adult that wants to travel more, but I'm also ambitious to make a career. I have a 40 hours per week job in IT where I'm responsible for the communication and managing contracts.

I live with my girlfriend who has brought her cats. Are you allergic or don't like cats? Sorry, then I can't help you with a couch.

I'm into sports; going to soccer matches, do some work outs and I cycling (race) around 230km a week. In my spare time I like to cook, trying a new meal every week. I would also love to learn Italian, but still searching for the lost motivation.

As a student I worked a lot in the hospitality where I came in contact with people from abroad. A great experience with some memorabele evenings.

Love to stay on your couch for 1 or 2 nights and get to know you a little bit beter. I find it always great to hear something about the city and surrounding area.
Or stay here and I'll show you around. You will live like a local and need to show some initiative because I work during the week. But Haarlem has a lot to offer and the evenings can be long.

Just a heads up. I get around 3 requests per day...so the chances are that you will also meet other surfers or some of my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I contribute by giving surfers a place to stay when needed, a homemade meal and exploring new possibilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won an argument from a woman. But no man believes me and I can't prove it.
Change my way of living and thinking, making my own path.
