About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet the world and it's people

ABOUT ME

Laid back, loves the outdoors but enjoys days in the big city as well. Originally Dutch now living in Sweden for work

PHILOSOPHY

Look ahead, plan for new adventures. Live according to your believes not those of others. Travelling and learning about other cultures learns you to relativate and keeps you humble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm mostly interested in meeting people on my travels, so having a coffee or something to eat works fine for me. Same for people who want to visit Sweden. I'm glad to meet up and show you around. I have a couch, but it's not available for anyone

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just started. I only had one expercience in Hiroshima, Japan so far, where Yukari and Ayako showed me around. A good first start!
