Hi! My name is Michiel, and I sailed the world for a couple of years as a maritime engineer. Recently I started working ashore as a sales engineer - and now I miss travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I miss the whole meeting new people and cultures thing I used to have when I was still sailing, and this seems like the place to be!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited Pitcairn Island, which I think must be the most remote place on earth. Meeting most of the forty people living on an island in the middle of the Pacific was really cool.
