CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey! Im Matthijs Cleton, 24, and currently in New Zealand for my internship. I have a lot of affinity with sports and travelling (obviously). Some day I hope to combine those 2 in my own company. Until that time I spend my time studying, partying (which I haven't done for to long now), seeing new things and try out new food!

PHILOSOPHY

If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

If you ask me anything about skiing or snowboarding, i'm all ears. Also field hockey is one of my few passions. Having is a beer in a nice, cool bar with some friends is priceless. The simple things in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying a night in an own made 'igloo' of ice and snow at the foot of a glacier at 2500 meter in Austria!

...and the first time I saw orca. I was only 2 meters away from a whole school of these killer whales, they were right underneath our boat. Goosebumps all over.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find: happiness and new experiences are only real when they are shared.
