About Me

Am I the only that keeps filling this in and once finished it refreshes again? (aaaand it's gone).

27 summers strong, I am an easygoing guy who just loves to experience and learn about life. Through travels and meetings people I gain more and more wisdom which I fully enjoy.

But yeah, besides that, I love pretty much everything, really enjoy exercising, such as biking, surfing or walking in the woods. I can handle cities for a certain amount of time, but I will always want to return to mountains, oceans or the forest

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is visiting a country and experiencing a country. To know what is behind the door of houses, to try food that is not invented for tourism but eaten by locals. Couchsurfing combines all that.

I will not deny that the ''Free'' part does not play a role, but I definitely hope to return that favor as soon as I have my own place.

Interests

Almost everything interests me, except football (no offense, but I just don't get the yelling in a stadium thing).

So always in a for a drink, especially good beer, or (vegetarian) food. I love talking about the future of the world, walking or enjoying the beauty of architecture.

Going to a bar to dance is always good, but nothing beats a nice talk over coffee in the morning.

Music, Movies, and Books

From classic to rock with exception of Hardcore stuff, my favourite genre is Rock, but that depends on the mood right.

V for Vendetta is my favourite, no matter what IMDB says.

Book should be Harry Potter, since it ruled my childhood and helped me learn other languages. Otherwise any fantasy/sci-fi that takes me out of this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could start about skydiving, bungee-jumping, which were pretty cool, but my most amazing experience has been teaching 150 kids in Nepal for 3 months. English, mathematics, sex education and swimming. Smiles from the heart while changing the world a bit, that is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my languages and will teach you anything I know.

I'd love to learn as much as I can, whether it is tieing a knot or cooking something delicious.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My direct Dutch manners, together with jokes and sometimes a sarcastic comment. Wisdom, as far as that counts for a 27-old.

I love cooking for my hosts and will always suit their rules and wishes.
