My name is Laurens Weigand, I am 24 years old and I used to live in Amsterdam (The Netherlands). I am a fulltime Magician, Mentalist, Comedian and I do some acting sometimes. These things allow me to travel the world and "work" at the same time, well work? Doing the things that I like.. I love meeting new people and learn about new cultures. I like to skip small talk. I consider myself a respectful and a polite person who is really open-minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I am on Couchsurfing is like any other, I think that 98% of the couchsurfing community are AMAZING people, I truly believe that this platform contains the most amazing people in the world. I do Couchsurfing and hitchhiking just because for me these people are the people that I want to be with. People who want to help others without receiving help in return directly. I believe that any kind of help that you give to others will come back to you one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share. 3 beautiful terms..
I'd like to teach people my way of living, inspire people or maybe even have a coaching session.

I'd like to learn about new cultures, new languages, new traditions.

I'd like to share my love with the world. Every day I'm trying to give people experiences in magic which they will never forget in their lives. I make no exceptions, I do as much magic for children as adults as homeless people on the street.

What I Can Share with Hosts
