My name is Maarten, I'm a 31 year old Dutchman who loves to create new memories together with others. I live in the centre of Tilburg together with my girlfriend.

Things that make me happy are: making people smile, my friends and family, music, being outdoors and many other things which I can tell you about when we meet.

Although I seek adventure, I am a laid back and easy going person who also loves to chill at the beach on a hot day, together with friends, chill music, good food, and last but not least, a fresh cold beer!

Do not contact please if you’re specifically looking for a sexual experience or related. I respect all people but prefer to host/surf in a like-minded setting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get/share a more local experience of the place that I am (visiting) instead of the typical 'tourist' experience. Besides that, I like to get in touch with new people from all over the world to share and create experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I find music an international language and a tool that makes it possible to connect and get to know people. I've played music myself for 9 years and like all kinds of genres.

From jazz to EDM, and from reggeaton to old school hiphop. I'm curious to find out about your favorite music!

A few of my favorite artists are Flume, Kaytranada, Snakehips, ODESZA, and KAASI.

The same goes for movies, series and books, but we can talk about that when we meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving at Mission Beach in Australia!
