Hey there! My name is Marijn and I'm a 28 year old guy that went backpacking for a year in South-East Asia, New Zealand and Australia. I left The Netherlands, my homecountry, in november 2023. On my trip, in Laos, I met a French woman which I'm really happy to call my girlfriend now. We live together in The Netherlands for the moment and plan on moving to New Zealand this year (2026) for a Working Holiday.

I like meeting people, learning about people's life's, different cultures, habits. And eager to share mine of course. Family and friends would describe me as a warm, social, down to earth person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people in the countries I travel to. Sharing time, stories, maybe even some adventures.
