For about 14 years now I live in Leeuwarden. The city has enough to offer, but nice people make the place really worthwhile. Lucky for me, most of my friends live here too :-) When I'm not working, I like to hang out with them, read, watch movies, play with my camera, listen to music, cook, bike (racer), do yoga, dream or make new travel plans...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Eventhough I registered my couchsurf-account a few years ago, I had my first couchsurf-experience only resently (February 2015). A friend of mine told me, that if I had tried it, I would do it for sure more often. And he was so right! Staying with local people gives travelling a great extra dimension!

It would be a pleasure for me to host you at my place. I always like to meet new people and I'd like to make sure you'll feel welcome in Leeuwarden :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to choose.... but, driving from The Netherlands to The Gambia for sure is one of them!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking and would like to cook some real Dutch food for you!

If time allows and the city itself isn't to tempting, after diner we could have a drink, share thoughts and travelstories, watch a movie, listen to music or play one of the games I've got.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to help out in the kitchen :-)
