I'm currently traveling across Japan with a friend. I have almost two months, so hopefully I have plenty of time to explore the entire country! We'd love to do couchsurfig as a way to meet the real Japanese people and try to learn some Japanese :) My friend is also on couchsurfing, you can see his profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2110707/profile

I like to see myself as a relaxed and friendly guy. I'm currently working as a webdesigner / webdeveloper in Amsterdam. I love to travel whenever I have the chance, meet new people and experience new cultures. I love taking photos (which I probably do way too much) and good quality food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actually just joined the site, but I'm looking forward to do some surfing and also invite some people to stay over at our new awesome apartment in Utrecht!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any official CouchSurfing experience, although I did travel a lot and slept on other people's couches :)

Interests

I love movies / tv-series, games (especially non-digital), chess, photography, design and art, comedy, cardtricks, a wide variety of music, cooking (and eating) and traveling.

Books: I mostly read non-fiction, like Malcolm Gladwell and Richard Dawkins, though I also really enjoy Chuck Palahniuk's books. Also a big Derren Brown fan! (That's Derren Brown, not Dan Brown, although I enjoyed his books as well)
