My name is Koen: I'm a nice guy, 29 at the moment, and I've always enjoyed traveling. For me traveling is about seeing new things, meeting new people, find something you didn't expect and coming home with an unique experience.

I'm living together with my girlfriend Laurie and David, one of my best friends. It's a little bit like the How I Met Your Mother tvserie ;) Laurie and me have known eachother for 4 years. Last year I introduced her to couchsurfing when we made a big roadtrip from east to west Canada, and it was a big hit. So we are eager to go on adventure once more and meet more awesome people :)

PHILOSOPHY

And in the end, it€™s not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years. - Edward J. Stieglitz

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it. - George Moore

Always give it a try. - Koen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started surfing in the spring of 2011, when I started a 5 month roadtrip across the USA. Never did I expect to enjoy so many great adventures with people I've met through CS. It's been a couple of years now, and I still love to surf and host.

Interests

Hanging out with friends to enjoy diner, encounter long and legendary drinkingtales, party at underground techno parties and hunt for treasure!

- Music: electronic (minimal, techno, techhouse).
