ABOUT ME

I'm a 27-year old Dutch fellow traveling China and the U.S. in one three-month trip to experience worlds different from mine. Lover of scotch whisky and motorcycles, though not simultaneously. I believe the people you meet are more important than the places you visit. Always in for a laugh. Desperately trying to grow a beard.

This is the first time I've tried couchsurfing, even though I've had an account for over two years for no good reason at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet some people who actually live in the places I visit, learning their way of life.

Interests

Meeting new people. Exploring new places. Experiencing other cultures. Old, weird and independent movies. Creativity. Single malt scotch. Facial hair.

Music, Movies, and Books

Film: Cidade de Deus, Drive, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lawrence of Arabia, anything Wes Anderson, and much, much more.
Books: Neuromancer, The stars my destination, some Dutch literature (Nescio)
Music: pretty much anything, depending on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Huangshan mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm out of my comfort zone, hoping to learn at least one valuable lesson before I return home. Could be anything, like how to grow a fuller beard.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories and respect, and hopefully just some good company.
