ABOUT ME

My name is Jurjen, I'm 31 years old, and I live in the centre of Amsterdam. I really love my city and love to show it to interesting people from all over the world. I play some football and tennis, and ice skating in the winter (I am Dutch, what did you expect...). I enjoy movies and read all kinds of books. I am also always interested in discussing life, politics and all other stuff that either matters or doesn't.

PHILOSOPHY

If you bring your own ball you can always join the game.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work 5 days a week, so I cannot always entertain guests, but when its not to busy at the office I try to accommodate couch surfers at my place. When I travel myself I try to couch surf whenever I am in a city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple of years ago I couch surfed my way through the United States with three friends of mine. It was such an amazing experience that I got hooked right away. I really like the way couch surfing allows you to meet with locals who can show you their town. I try to do the same when I have people over.
