About Me

I'm a very open minded adventurer who is currently living in Breda, the Netherlands. I love to travel and have so far traveled to 36 countries. I have lived in Japan for 4 months, climbed many mountains and have many good stories to tell. I love a random philosophical talk whether it's in the morning or in the evening :) I am a huge sports fan and try to follow many different sports at the same time with my main sport being football. I am a Polyglot and a very keen language learner. I love learning languages and think that learning a language is one of the deepest ways to get to know one's culture. I love how different people are and like to think I'm a fun guy to hang out with. I love a good party and am very crazy but at the same time I can go for a forest walk for hours and just wonder off on thoughts. I love too many different styles of music and am very all-round in my music taste!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here for the people! I want to meet as many cool people as I can. Learn from every single one of them, get to know more about each and every person's culture and try to make new friends and cool experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and share many cool stories. One thing I have learned from spending time abroad as that no matter where you are, people will always appreciate good food in a great atmosphere with interesting stories. Food can make people bond no matter where they are from. I would love to hear all the good stories.
