ABOUT ME

My name is Jesper Heshusius, I'm a 26 year old, adventurous guy from Leiden, the Netherlands. I feel like going all around the world discovering countries and cultures. Since I was a child my parents dragged me through large parts of Asia, Europe and the States and I always felt very much enriched in the surrounding of all sorts of people and landscapes. After I finished high school I've done some traveling of my own in Asia as well as months of hitchhiking and volunteering in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

In the winter of your life, you will not remember the days that have gone by exactly like all others. Waking up in different places in the world, not only seeing but truly experiencing other countries and cultures will endow your life and state of mind like nothing else.
Be kind, welcoming and honest to others in a way that feels natural to you, in this way doing things for others eventually is also good for you, because they're genuine actions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music! Playing, recording and listening.
