Hi,
My name is Koen and I'm Dutch...

I live in Utrecht. A city in the Netherlands (Holland). It is flat, has beautiful city canals and my favourite way of transportation is by bicycle, off course I have several bicycle at home. More about me; I'm a tall guy with blue eyes who loves drop (a chewy kind of candy). You can say I’m a true cheese eater. Occasionally my breakfast is bread with peanut butter and chocolat sprinkles. And yes, sometimes my dinner is "boerenkool" (stamped kale) or "snert" (pea soup). So, you could say I'm typical Dutch guy.

What a clichés, but not al Dutch typicals suit me; I don't wear clogs wooden shoes, I don't wear silly Orange heads and scarfs -except during WK/EK's and kingsday, when everybody does-. The Dutch usualy live frugal and byfollow the code just-act-normal-than-you-are-crazy-enough, which I do not. I love to blend in with other cultures. Neither am I complaining about the weather every day, all day long, like lots of people here. I am tolerance and have a travelling spirit. Every night I love to spend time with friends and always looking for “gezelligheid”.

For so far the clichés and typical things about me.

I would love to know more about you and your habits!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm travelling I would love to stay at someone's place, if possible have a good chat, see local living and learn better Spanish/German.
