Life is a rollercoaster, enjoy the ride!

I am a friendly, easy-going guy, genuinely interested in meeting and getting to know people, in learning about the language, history, poetry, music and daily life of the places I am visiting.

I love cities but also all sorts of nature, especially mountains.

I sing, bake tasty Dutch pancakes and talk at the fireside until dawn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet interesting new people and get to understand a bit about their perspective on the place I am visiting.
