Hey!

Thanks for visiting my profile!
I'm Reinier and come from Amsterdam.
I am a sportive and open-minded person who likes to see, travel and experience the world.

One year ago I did an aweseom cycle trip from Uppsala to Amsterdam. The trip was around 1500 km and took me 12 days to complete. After that trip I had an injury for about half a year :P. Still the trip was worth it! I met a lot of great people and saw three beautiful countries: Sweden, Denmark and Germany.

Hopefully I will do such a trip in the future again... As I always say: Never settle.

Currently I am working as a consultant at a health and life science consultancy firm... It is a lot of work but I learn a lot and I like it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet locals and make new friends.
With couchsurfing you never know where you will end up and with who. This is part of the adventure which I like :).

Interests

I like to watch educational video's on youtube. Some of my favorite channels are: crashcourse, Scishow, the school of life and Kurzgesagt.

Also my passion is triggered by the combination of nature, technology and business. I hope to find a job opportunity that combines these interests.

• running
• cycling
• rowing
• history
• nature

Music, Movies, and Books

Inglourious basterds and Monty Python.
Also I am a great fan of the following series: House of Cards, White Collar, Narcos, Marco Polo and Bron/The Bridge.

Regarding reading, I like to read fact magazines. I just want to know a lot!
