About Me

I'm Jelle and there are three thinks I really like.
The first is adventure. When I'm traveling I always like to have a little adventure and see/learn new things. I often travel by hitchhiking or cycling.
The second is thinking. I love to think about the world from a historical and philosophical view. I want to get different perspectives on society and like to share ideas wich brings me to the third thing I really love.
The third is company. I'm a social person and like having good company around to laugh with and learn from. Especially while traveling it is the interaction with other people who makes a good trip.
Coutchsurfing adds so much to a trip and I always find the three things I like while using the app. Maybe you will be the next person I meet on the road! Peace ✌🏻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like this concept of a big travel community that helps each other and have a good time. I would love to meet and get to know somebody in every country and the fact we help each other out with sleep places is just amazing!

Interests

I am a fan of history and geography and I love acting. Every year I do something involving theater. I love going to festivals, usually techno or drum 'n bass and traveling is also a passion of mine. I still have never been outside of Europe, if I haven't been to a place yet, it's a good enough excuse for me to visit!

Music, Movies, and Books

The only books I read are history books.
My favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, Forest Gump, Twelve Monkees and Fight Club.
I mostly listen to Indie music and house and for partying I like disco, drum 'n bass or techno.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I went to Moldova and Romania with two friends and I also went to the defacto state of Transnistria with was very interesting.
I also did solo trips when I was 18 and 22.

This august me and my friend Bart go on a huge cycling trip to Istanbul and I'm super stocked!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a history teacher and know quite for the people who like to learn Dutch I can always teach some. I'm currently learning German om Duolingo so learning from other people would be cool to. But in general I just like to learn about you and the place you live in, I like to share stories to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer good company, interesting conversations and a, as we say in Dutch, a 'gezellige' time.
