Hi,

I am from the Netherlands and together with my wife and daughter of 1,5 years old we will enjoy a 3 week holiday in Mongolia from end July till half august

My girlfriend is Mongolian, so she is the one who speaks fluently Mongolian, I just got started with the Mongolian alphabet, and i find it really difficult :(

We are friendly and caring people and respectful for others, we both enjoy cooking food and like to experience new things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

An excellent way to meet new people, culture and go for the local experience :-)

Interests

I am interested in nature, i am a bit adventurous and willing to try and experience new things.

• culture
• dining
• italian food
• cooking
• boating
• traveling
• sailing
• mathematics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to the island of coconut trees (Thailand), it might not sound so exciting for people on this website, but it was a longtime dream coming true for me :-)
Hanging on the side of a catamaran sail boat was quite fun (see picture).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning the Mongolian alphabet (my first step in mastering this difficult language)
I like teaching things that i know, unfortunately i only know Excel, unless you are interested in Insurance Mathematics :-)
I would like to share in hospitality and friendship

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always open to share a smile and a laugh.
We got some small dutch souvenirs to share.
I also enjoy cooking Thai, Indonesian and Italian food a lot, so if i can find the ingredients i would love to share some of my cooking skills.
