Hi! I'm Lex and I'm currently studying geography as a bachelor in Amsterdam. I would really like to become a geography teacher in the near future. Besides getting my degree as a teacher I would love to travel much much more than I do now. It's a little meager at the moment. My plan is to travel the world someday, just with a backpack on my back and some good shoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a geography man and as a people's man, I would really like to meet people from all over the globe. To experience different cultures, habbits and traditions. And I want to do the same. Let people experience my culture, habbits and traditions. To show the Netherlands as they are, not as how they are portrait by prejudices. See my photo's for some insight in the beauty of the Netherlands.

Interests

What I really love is:
- Geography
- Hot chocolate
- Countryside
- Spontaneous actions like lying on the street in the middle of the night, singing songs out of nowhere, dancing whenever I feel like it, visits from friends you didn't expect. That sort of things.
- Wine, especially red!
- Survivalling
- Cycling
- Movies, I have tons of them =')
- Deep house
- Showers after been confronted with a huge bucket of rain on my head.
- The beach
- Picknick in parks with friends
- Playing the guitar, although I'm not that good at playing it.
- Chocolate in general
- Kebab
- Cooking
- Just so much more, I'm up for anything new

.... And many more =)

I love the book "Sans Famile" by Hector Mallot and the hunger games series and some dutch novels.

As it comes to movies, any is perfect for me. Except those horror movies where it's more about killing for the killing than the horror of a story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A busride with my fellow students through the heart of Morroco. It was an amazing journey where we have learned so much about the country, it's traditions, religion and habbits.

Teach, Learn, Share

If anyone wants to learn more about the Netherlands, I'm the guy. So feel free to ask me anything.
