Dutch lad travelling through New Zealand at the moment trying to meet some new people and see new places. More about me; I’ve got a degree in marine biology, have travelled quite a bit and lived in a couple different countries

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To try it out, still new to it, but love meeting new people and this seems like a good way to do it!

Interests

A healthy combination of some outdoor stuff, some nerdy things and social occasions

• motorcycles
• board games
• hiking
• surfing
• craft beer
• diving
• marine biology
• conservation
• fantasy books

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music, prefer the kind I can sing along to (doesn’t mean I’m actually a good singer). Watch all sorts of movies. Regarding books I like reading high fantasy quite a bit, but I can also really appreciate a historic book, whether it’s fictional or non fictional, actually read a lot of different things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yeah Marine biologist, so shark tagging, diving with sharks, doing research for three weeks on the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Also been hiking through the Himalayas peaking at 5500 m above sea level.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mm maybe I could teach some Dutch or English, some marine biology related things for sure

What I Can Share with Hosts

Like to think I can at least offer some decent conversation! But can always do some dishes and I do like cooking together with other people, so if you are into that it could really work!
