CURRENT MISSION

Having a good time.

ABOUT ME
Curious, optimistic, restless. Always looking to experience new things, see new places, try new food, meet new people etc. Addicted to traveling, my last 'big trip' was already more than 2 years ago but I'm hoping to make another one next year. I'm a hydraulic engineering consultant which means I give advice about dikes/levees, ports, breakwaters, flood protection etc, can't get more Dutch than that ;) Just moved to a new place in Rotterdam (my first proper apartment after a few student houses, rooms/studios and even an old office building) which I'm also pretty excited about!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment mostly by visiting meetings/events but I'd like to host more. Otherwise I'm always up for a drink or showing people around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled quite a bit and met some great people at various CS meetings/events but haven't really 'surfed' myself yet (hostels are just too much fun), but hopefully this will change soon!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I lived in Kingston, Jamaica for a few months which was pretty amazing in itself, but one of the most unforgettable experiences was climbing the highest mountain in Jamaica in the middle of the night and arrive at the top just in time to see the sunrise.
