I'm Jarne, 23 from Belgium. 🇧🇪
I'm an openminded, social guy who likes to talk about life. I have a bachelor's degree in "International entrepreneurship", and a master's in "International supply chain management". Because of this, I'm very interested in getting to know different cultures.

What do I expect from this couchsurfing experience?
✅ Mutual respect
✅ Good agreements about the house rules, so that there are no misconceptions. Please read those rules. If you do not, I won't accept you.
✅ You either speak Dutch, English, French or German, so that we can have a decent conversation

This will form the base of a good friendship 🤗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a surfer:
I want to meet local people while travelling around the world. Locals can tell you so much about their experiences and insights. As a tourist, you really get to know the city/country, and not only its touristic sights.

As a host:
I want to share my experiences and give you as much advice about Rotterdam as possible.
