CURRENT MISSION

In the summer of 2018 I will be making cycling trips in the Netherlands and North-Rhine-Westfalia, taking photographs of cultural heritage monuments for wikipedia.

ABOUT ME

creative (in unexpected ways)
friendly (so they say)
quiet (on the outside)
vegetarian-lite: eat fish, eggs, milk, cheese, don't eat cows, pigs, chicken etc.
no alcohol
no smoking, but you as a host may do all these things.

PHILOSOPHY

sharing and simplicity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started couchsurfing in 2014, stayed with one host in the Netherlands and six in Sweden that year. In 2015 in France I stayed with three hosts. I have also participated in couchsurfing events in the Arnhem/Nijmegen region where I live.
The main problem I experience with couchsurfing is that people often do not reply to my couchsurfing requests at all.
