ABOUT ME

Heya! Im Adriaan. I was born and grew up on a tiny sunny shining island in the Caribbean called Aruba. After living the easy Caribbean vibes for many years I decided to move to the Netherlands in order to pursue a degree in literature in the city of Utrecht. I've lived in Guadalajara, Buenos Aires and from time to time in Berlin. Im an easy, chillin person, with great love for a good coffee, poetry and travelling!
Reggae and Dub are my tunes but I also love to explore those small, hidden anonymous spots where jazz is played! You will always meet a warm heart caribbean in me :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Nil volentibus Arduum" (Nothing is difficult for those who want to)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive couchsurfed in Istanbul at an amazing lovely host called Hacer. All around in Mexico thru friends before opening this account and just recently in San Francisco with a really friendly host. All the experiences have been amazing. Always a good exchange of conversations, experiences which I always keep as treasures.

Interests

My main interest is literature with a focus on Latin America. Really interested in experimenting with analog cameras.. I've worked during the summer as an activist journalist for www.noticias.nl. Will keep writing for them when I get back to Europe after my travel thru California.
