Hi, my name is Tice, 19 years old and I'm from the Netherlands. I love traveling by bike and filmmaking. I have a Youtube channel: TravelingTice, as well as social media with the same name so you can check me out there :) Currently living in Perth, Australia in a big house so would love to host people and make some friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is the best way to meet local people. On my early bike tours I mostly stayed in hostels or AirBnB apartments or I just camped in the forest. You go to a place but you only get a superficial look of it. I mean, it's a matter of perspective for sure, for some people cycling through a place but staying in hotels is good enough (or not even cycling but going by plane) but I think that you can get the most out of it when you leave the comfort zone and go beyond the main tourist attractions. I think meeting locals or just connecting with people you didn't know before, adds a tremendous amount of value to a trip. That's also an element I want to share in my videos (so I hope you don't mind me video documenting the experience ;) i want to inspire more people to try it too, so they can also have a great experience.
