About Me

ABOUT ME
I'm friendly and kinda "normal", can you ever say that. Let me know if you're in my area (Utrecht) ... I'd love to show you around!

PHILOSOPHY
tolerance, when the opportunity arises to sleep under a new roof - take it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had some amazing hosts look after me.
An experience that definitely stands out for me is staying with Jean-Jacques in Paris. This amazing guy bailed me out after my hostel accommodation fell through (booking the wrong day). What ensued was a few days of total Parisian immersion. To this day I couldn't really say where I was in Paris, otherwordly!

Music, Movies, and Books

Beautiful South, Arthur Lee, Nina Simone, (of course) the Beatles, Queen.
I have a soft spot for electro-swing.

The Shawshank Redemption
Escape from Alcatraz
The Great Escape
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
... you could safely say I like prison break movies. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a quite a bit, but if I had to choose an experience that stands out, it would probably be either Zion national park (breath takingly giant boulders), or Burning Man in Nevada... transformative!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to show my gratitude for hosting in any way possible. I am not the greatest cook, but I have a few dishes that can impress if you would let me cook for you!

Otherwise, perhaps I can just buy you a few drinks? Help around the house?
