I'm a 27-year old guy who has been studying for quite a few years. After having taken a break from my studies to work for a few years, I am returning to finish my Bachelor degree. I love all sorts of music but I like metal and drum and bass more than most others. I like good movies and tv-series, especially if they have a good twist. I am very social and enjoy meeting new people and getting to know the world via them over a drink or two (or eleven).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to open doors to seeing and experiencing more of the world and would like to offer the same opportunities to like-minded people. Meeting people from vastly different cultures and background is a great learning experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love heavy metal and have been going to Wacken, the greatest metal festival in the world, for almost 10 years in a row now. I have also been going to drum and bass and dubstep parties for years but the scene is starting to become less and less my thing, I must be getting old.
I love movies with an unexpected twist such as Se7en, Matchstick Men, Shutter Island and many more. Also Tarantino has really made some great stuff.
I like all sorts of books, including travel books by for instance Bill Bryson, sci-fi/fantasy books like The Hitchhiker's Guide, The Discworld Series and The Dark Tower Series, my personal favorite. Also, easy to devour, exciting thrillers like James Patterson books and Grisham novels go down well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to South Africa with my girlfriend for a half-year and saw lots of the country and wildlife. Saw the Big Five!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like sharing knowledge and having fun discussions with people about politics, science and history. Plus fun random facts and did-you-knows.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lived in the Netherlands for most of my life but as a child I moved around a lot, having lived in Germany, the U.S. and the U.K.. I can share my experiences and what I've learned, and always like to tell my many stories to people that want to listen and exchange.
