About Me

NOTE: Ever since I moved to Amsterdam (feb 2018) I am getting a *lot* of requests, so I feel I should help all of you lovely travelers on what I am (not) looking for in a surfer. So my ideal surfer is traveling by him or herself, wants to spend some time with me exploring Amsterdam and is genuinely enthusiastic about meeting new people. If you’re just looking for a free place to crash, look elsewhere. Men who like to drink and do drugs, I don’t do those things, look elsewhere. Women who are looking for a date, you’re on the wrong app, look elsewhere. Please be considerate of my wishes, thank you 🙂

Hi there! I'm a Dutch techie who loves to meet new people, likes to dance and runs his own company. Besides that, I'm a social, helpful and open minded person, that just kinda goes with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm a curious critter who likes to connect with a wide variety of people from different cultures! As a surfer I like to blend myself in with the locals so I get to experience their culture up close and personal. As a host I like to share my own personal space with my surfers and show them around town. In both cases, I focus on the people instead of the surroundings as I believe people make their surroundings and not the other way around. As a result, I love talking with my fellow couch surfers and friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the wild in Norway; enjoying the incredible view of the stars at night! Check out my Google Streetview profile for nice 360 degree pictures; it has almost halve a million views! https://www.google.nl/maps/contrib/116701845222316075257/photos/

Teach, Learn, Share

Uh, I can teach you how to drive a car by stick, ride a bicycle or how to use a computer programming language. The latter takes a while though, maybe teaching you Dutch will be easier 😉

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep philosophical discussions interchanged by nonsensical banter and witty humor 😀 I also have a bike you may use to get around town (it's healthier and faster than moving by car in Amsterdam!)
