I like to read books on stomach acid and cholesterol, and the smell of burning sulfur dioxide (lit matches). That pretty much sums it up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel: would like to meet up with locals, hear about their experiences in the place I'm visiting, learn from each other and simply make good memories together :)

When I host: I'm originally from the Netherlands and spent most of my time in this country. Very proud of our biking traditions and it's always nice to show people around, get to know my own area better, learn from you and your culture while you learn from mine :)
