Hey, I am Jeroen.

I am half German, half Dutch. I grew up in Germany and moved to the City of Amsterdam last August and started an apprenticeship as a Cabinetmaker.

I like to enjoy the good things in life, things for the senses.

I am more of a calm person, but not boring!

I am happy to be alive and curious about what life is gonna bring to me in the future. I havent done that many travels yet but there are lots of places I would still like to visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it is a great Idea!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
My Father is a Musician and I grew up with listening to lots and lots if different kinds of Music. Iike Music which is danceable. Rootsy Reaggae! Soul! Funk! Rap!
But also calm singer songwriter stuff like Nick Drake.
During in my teenage years I also used to listen to a lot of Indie Rock.
Growing up in Germany you cant get around Techno.

Movies:
I used to work in a small cinema for some time. I like Movies but i cant really tell if I have a favourite Filmmaker or Actor.

Books:
I really like reading! I read everything, but mostly fictional stuff.
Some of my favourite books:

"The art of loving"- Erich Fromm
"To have or to be?" -Erich Fromm
"The Marseille trilogy" - Jean Claude Izzo
"Die Wand" - Marlene Haushofer

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some cabinet making basics. I am good at reparing and building up bicycles. I climb and could teach you some rock climbing. And of course I can teach you some words of German or Dutch if you want to.

I like to learn some words in your language.

And I want to learn how to handle life in the best way possible. Beeing free but still attached.
