About Me

Started studying anthropology and botany last year and I really enjoy it.

Laid back, open minded and more than happy to make a joke at my own expense.

I live with three of my best mates, tell me their names.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled quite a bit through Europe (I was there for 18 months) as well as a smaller trip in Morocco last year and have been hosted by some amazing fellow surfers.

I think its an amazing way to come into contact with, and experience other cultures that we might not otherwise. And I've always found the people I've hosted or stayed with have had at least something in common with me, which is always a fun thing to discover.

Interests

These last 2years I've been doing a lot of climbing, particularly bouldering so if that's something you're into it could be a great way to hangout.

Cycling, and hiking are two of the best ways I kept active during my travels, I love to be active. I play hockey and like to think I am OK at tennis and football. I love swimming and any sport at the beach. But I also make time to slow down and relax.

Interests come from experiences, and im more than happy to try new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Two bands that I always find myself coming back to are Karnivool, who I've seen live on a number of occasions. And Hiatus Kaiyote, who I was lucky enough to see in London when I was there in 2015. If you think you can make any recommendations similar to these, I always think that can be a fun way to spend some time together over a meal and a beer or two.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling from Tallinn to Villinus through all three Baltic states during the summer was amazing! Hiking through the kalbarri gorges on the west coast of Australia will be something I never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to speak to people about whats happening around the world and am always interested to here others perspectives and share my own ideas!

als jij kom uit nederland, kom en help me praktijk mijn nederlandse!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im a genuine, open minded guy. Just about up for anything. I like to think I make good company so if theres something you've been meaning to do but would like a companion, chances are I'll be up for it!

I do enjoy a nice beer here and there but myself and my housemates definitely aren't wild party animals, so keep that in mind.
