About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying our 'world trip'

ABOUT ME

Right now we are travelling for 9 months so we won't be able to host anyone.

We are a couple from Amsterdam. We both study AND work at the moment, so we are always busy. We run our own company and that means we have to work extremely hard from time to time to keep things on track. We also try to study both, but we cannot always find time to do so.

During our 3 months USA trip a while ago we had a great time with many couchsurfers. Back in Amsterdam we hosted a bunch of people and had a great time as well. Unfortunately, we do not have the time right now to host people, but hopefully we will again soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of styles. I like piano, 80's(love Dire Straits), guitar, dj shah (some nice beats gives me a nice rhitm to do my work), and a lot more.
Check out my profile on last.fm (matjong) to see all music I like:)
With movies we're pretty simple: We like to watch the standard American series like 24, lost, numb3rs, 4400 and so on. The more simple the movie, the better is it ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even though we've seen plenty of nice things we cannot really say there's one thing we like most. If we need to describe in general what we like most, it's the fact that we're able to work and travel around while doing so. The 4 months US, 3 months Thailand and 3 months NZ are all wonderful experiences. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Piano, guitar, some Dutch dishes (but we are not professional cooks)

Countries I’ve Visited
