A fun-loving gentle giant, born and bred in the always flat Netherlands. Always in for a beer (or a coffee). Studying veterinary medicine in Belgium, former horse tour guide in Chile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about culture, history, customs, language, cities and countries first hand & preferably not through the Lonely Planet.

Interests

I love doing active stuff: riding basically all my life, playing basketball since highschool, started climbing last year, sorta training for a marathon. Love learning about all kinds of things, from culture to science, from politics to pop culture. I love trying to see things in other peoples point of view. Nearly everything in life is gray, not black and white. I enjoy a beautiful city as much as a beautiful landscape.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hiphop, rock, indie, anything top 40 (I'm flexible). Books.. Well they don't have enough pictures and are too long, are magazines okey? I can do audio books! Please don't judge me. Movies, yes I watch them and enjoy them, don't have a favorite though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a horse tour guide in Chile, riding through the Andes and century old forests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Buy them a beer (or coffee), cook them a meal & hopefully fun!
