Hi hello! My name is Mickey. I like to use my work to travel to different places. I'm not a person with soled plans, I go wherever the wind blows me. But if I want to achieve something I will go for the full 100%.
I'm a open minded person and it's difficult to get me grumpy.
In summer when I'm in the Netherlands I guide groups doing outdoor activities. And in winter I work as a ski and snowboard teacher in a country I feel like going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and get to know there life style and this seems a perfect way to do that. And maybe because I'm to poor and can't afford to pay for hostels every night...

Interests

I love being outside and that is where I spend most of my time. I love to snowboard (I'm addicted to snowboarding) , ski, horse back riding, hike, climb, wakeboard, and all other sports!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kind of music. I like music a lot. I love live music!
I do not like scary movies because I'm scared in the dark. But I all kind of other movies with a good story are fine by me.
I don't like to read books because I'm dyslexic. It takes me way to long to finish a book.
