Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly like going to other places but i wouldn't mind hosting or drinking a cup of coffee with people who, for reasons unknown to me, would be interested in visiting the south of the Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at a friend of mine in Helsinki who happens to be a couchsurfer and I experienced that as quite nice which is why I signed up. Later, I went to south east asia and used CS to meet people from a wide variety of countries. I was lucky enough to meet so many wonderful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

while i was living in norway i could ride my snowboard to work, seeing as it hardly ever snows here in the Netherlands, that was very impressive to me xD kajaking on the fjords with a friend one beautifull day and suddenly finding ourselves in a storm... cold, cramped, tired and fearing for our lives there is a certain primitive energy which fuels the body to keep on going untill we reached the shore.. amazing :D

I walked a pilgrimage in japan for shingon Buddhism. It was a 1400 km trek through the mountains, visiting 88 temples and even though I'm not big in religion, it felt really, really, really.... Nice ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach others some languages like; dutch, english and norwegian. i can also teach how to play a guitar and how to defend oneself. I hope to learn the japanese language and am curious to other people's skills :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a great amount of stories from my travels and the unconventional type of work that I do. I am easy going and easily entertained, I can also be quite entertaining if i do say so myself.
