ABOUT ME

Nowadays I can be found in my garden a lot of times: reading books in the hammock, playing chess, working on my laptop creating websites, playing pingpong, drinking at my garden-bar, having bbq 's, playing ridiculously loud music, playing guitar with friends, composing music, boating through the canals with my modest motorboat.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever works ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly host people. I like to meet people this way, show them the good places in Amsterdam (mostly party places) and just have a good time.

Altogether I think this is a great concept and would like to use it more. I 'd like to say to not be discouraged about my low reply percentage. Last year I got a lot of requests and wasn 't always able to reply.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted several people since 2009. Met a lot of couchsurfers while traveling Panama. Good experience so far.
