About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to visit every country in the world! Current total: 66

ABOUT ME

Laidback Dutch guy ludicrously trying to visit every country in the world. Needless to say, my favourite hobby is travelling. On a budget. Recently started hitchhiking on my own, something I always wanted to do. I'm Kenny, 24 years old, just finished my bachelor International Relations in the United Kingdom. Taught English to a whole bunch of lovely rugrats in a school in Madrid last year, and now I'm bartending in Brisbane, Australia. Apart from travelling, I enjoy playing badminton, local cuisine and TV series - I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to Game of Thrones or similar stuff. I always try to learn at least a little about a country I visit :)

Generic quote to appear thoughtful:

"Life is a book, and those who don't travel only read one page"
-No idea who said that

Have me? :)

PHILOSOPHY

This bit requires thinking.. I guess I try to live my life without trying to judge other people's cultures/beliefs/interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting locals, learning about the culture. Hopefully hosting when I get finally settle somewhere in my own place - however I haven't been to every country in the world yet so that might be a little while from now..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experience in Manila, Philippines. Got invited to stay at a really nice German girl's place in Chisinau but time constraints meant I had to rush off to the train station and get on the last train to Ukraine instead.
