I'm working for a bank and used to be a city councillor in my former municipality for a social liberal political party. I'm very open minded and love to experience new things all the time. I love good food, exploring cities/countryside, making new friends, visiting museums and talking about cultural differences.

Live and let live is my motto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed a lot of couches at friends places around the world. It's always so good to be at people's houses and meet the locals. On CS I have mainly hosted, showed people around Haarlem and Amsterdam.

Interests

Standing on mountain summits, going for a drink, enjoying the sun, and having an overall good time. I love discussing current affairs and know a little bit about everything. But being very curious I always want to know more :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I've done was a 10 month trip through Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Bangkok. What a fantastic experience, one that I will never forget. Two of my favourite adrenalin fueled activities were a skydive over a huge lake and white water rafting on a grade-5 river. Awesome!!!
