After the first taste of solo travelling, one can not simply stop. Right?!

Hi there! I am Jan, a 29 y/o Dutchie who wants to discover the world beyond that what an eye of a tourist sees.
Meet you, locals, make new friends and share good times and deep conversations. Go to the places unknown to the masses, explore nature and discover new sights.

Hope to meet you soon! :)

*current mission*
Walk to Santiago the Compostella, starting at the most Northern part of The Netherlands.

Music
Just love music! If Spotify was a person, it probably was one of my best friends. Lately I'm quite into French music: Stromae; Poupie; Marie-Flore and classics like Claude François and Jean Ferrat.
In general I'm listening to indie pop, dutch pop, 60's and songs offered by fellow travellers.
Fav artists: Paul Simon; Chef'Special; Glass Animals; De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig; Doe Maar; Typhoon

Always happy to share some great Dutch music with you🙋🏽‍♂️

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Give up my standard, convenient, life to travel

Insegna, impara, condividi

Happy to learn anything you want to share, my interests are as wide as the horizon.
Really love to learn languages. Isn't it just the best way to connect with someone if you are able to speak even one sentence in their native language?

So what can I offer you?
- All about Dutch culture, history and the language itself
- Crazy little trivia
- Board- and cardgames
- The two Dutch words you need to connect with a Dutchie anywhere in the world

Side note:
I'm a self proclaimed boardgames expert (at least when I win), happy to teach some nice strategies in card games, chess and catan. Always up to learn a new (card)game :)
