About Me

Dutch guy living in Amsterdam. Studied Strategic Management, currently working as a Digital Product Manager. Apps and stuff.

Always open to meet new people and exchange experiences, viewpoints and skills.

Note: I strongly prefer requests for short stays (eg 1-2 nights).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the past years, I've done a fair bit of traveling and living abroad and had so many people who helped me out along the way. Now that I'm back in the Netherlands, I'm more than happy to return the favor. Amsterdam is a really interesting city, with a lot of cool spots a little off the beaten track; it's a waste most people just end up seeing the same things!

Interests

I love anything to do with creation, design and culture. In addition, going to the gym or the football field is a great way to get the heart rates up from time to time. I'm quite laid-back, but when there's any game going on (sports, video, board) I get super competitive. I'm also quite interested in psychology and the way people interact with each other.

Finally, I like spending time with friends; simply grabbing a drink and having a laugh is a great way to spend the weekend.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical taste is quite broad (although I feel everyone kind of says that). According to Spotify, I listen to a lot of hiphop, indie and electronic music. From the top of my head, I like listening to Moderat, MF Doom, The Libertines, Cunninlynguists and Opgezwolle.

My favorite movies include A Clockwork Orange, Oldboy, Spirited Away and Léon. But I definitely enjoy a generic (shitty) comedy from time to time.

I've never seen Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became a one-time actor on Japanese TV.

What I Can Share with Hosts

On top from the obvious (a place to sleep), I'm happy to do some fun activity, grab dinner and share experiences.
