Hello, my name is Matthijs and i live in a city near Amsterdam called Zaandam. It's near a lot of windmills and polders. I am a professional Gardener and love to be outside and work with plants. Also I work in a movie cinema as a operator especially arthouse movies.
In my spare time I love listening to all kinds of music, chill out, or go out in nature for a hike or swim. When with friends I love to cook, and have a beer. I am always interested in new and more exiting things and people to meet and discover. Having a discussion, relax or learn new insights about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
