About Me

My name is Jippe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to meet interesting people, to explore a new country, and to expose yourself to different cultures and ways of living.

Interests

Into sports, I've done a lot of gymnastics but nowadays I mostly surf and go on bike trips. Love the outdoors. I also love history and international politics, I just finished my Master's degree in International Relations. And of course exploring and learning from people and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

From the ruins of empire, Pankaj Mishra. Growing out of apartheid, Mark Mathabane. 1984, George Orwell. I love psychedelic music, downtempo techno, reggae and indie- and classic rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking in Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to learn new things, having conversations about history, politics and cultures. I like to learn to speak, or just learn about new languages. I can potentially help with that as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you all you ever wanted to know about the Netherlands, share my own travelling experiences, help out around the house, maybe cooking...
