Back on Couchsurfing after a 10 year hiatus. After 11 years in Canada, now back in the Netherlands.

I work as an IT architect and enjoy creating solutions by working with people that have different perspectives, have different backgrounds and come from different countries.
I like to go out in nature to go hiking, I like cycling (being Dutch, this is second nature) both as a means of transportation around town and go road cycling on country roads. I enjoy art and museums when visiting cities.

Next destinations on the list are to visit Hokkaido, Japan and Picos de Europa in Spain.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Looking to connect with people again, share perspectives and get inspired traveling and by others traveling.

Learn: I'd like to learn from others by sharing experiences and views on life to continually enrich my own perspectives.
