About Me

Like most on Couchsurfing, traveling is one of my great hobbies. Exploring the unknown, discovering new places and meet great people. What makes all this great are the people I meet along the way.

After living in many country and exploring traveling to many places I am currently living in Munich Germany.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I completed my MA degree in international relations and Asian studies in South Korea. After graduation I returned to the Netherlands and now I work and live near Amsterdam.

Traveling around the world and meeting people of different cultures is what I really enjoy. Travel is for me synonymous to socializing. No travel is complete without meeting local people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I enjoy watching are the Matrix, Inception and Cloud Atlas. Reading I don't do that much but I recommend books from authors such as Koji Suzuki, Stephen King, Stieg Larsson. My music taste is too weird to describe just anything with a rhythm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking mount Fuji in Japan, Crazy party nights in Hong Kong, Racing with 120Km/s without a helmet around Koh Samui in Thailand, backpacking in China for 3 months. Cycling through 3 KM long tunnels in Northern China that are not lighted...
