About Me

I'm a Artist and Art-teacher living in an old school building in Amsterdam.
And at the moment i'm on my biggest adventure so far: I'm travelling with great friends throughout the United States in a van living from artistic performances and selling my artwork, for me it's a dream that became a reality. I love to joke around and meet new people, and consider myself a laidback, cool, open minded guy thats alway's up for a new adventure! You wanna team up and go?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because i like to meet all kinds of people from all over the globe. At home it gives me a bit of the feeling that i'm actually travelling and thats awesome! Back at my home i like to take care of people and tell them all i know about their surroundings. When i'm travelling i consider it a great way to meet local cool people, chill and sleep at a nice interesting place and not in a boring expensive hotel.
