ABOUT ME

Tall, traveler, Dutch, down-to-earth, 26, technical, impulsive, social(?), funny, drunk, enthusiastic, not sporty, brolliologist, product designer, Icelandic and probably a lot more.

I finished studying 2 yrs ago (although your never finished learning!). At the moment you can find me anywhere, at home, in a pub, on the road/rails or taking sailing courses. But a few days a week I work for a product design company in the Hague!

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, enjoy what you do or stop doing it. Don't nag about it, just try something else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meetings, diners and partying! Oh and also a little bit hosting and surfing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting new people, music and cultures. Seeing what's going on around the world. The Hague is a very international city so I meet new people from all over the world, almost weekly.

I host in my small house near the city center (5 min. walk) of The Hague.

Teach, Learn, Share

Experience is what you get from when stuff doesn't go as expected.

Make mistakes. It will safe your life one day, if the mistake wasn't life threatening in the first place.

Who doesn't sleep can travel.
