Hi! My name is Robin. I'm a young filmmaker fascinated in playing with reality. With my work I want to drop you in a new unreal place without making you realise, before breaking the fourth wall.

I really enjoy biking and hiking. In The Netherlands usually in an urban environment. There is not enough nature here so now I'm looking abroad to discover the best views.

I'm super curious about the world around me (especially Europe) and I have a very broad intrest in things: architecture, fine art, (restoring) nature, politics, trains, the structures of everything, VFX, Random useless facts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made a short children's film that I want to show to everyone around the world. ''Joep in the tomato soup'' The next festival is Tromsø international film festival. 🎬 🇳🇴 Can you help me with a place to stay? I'll bring you and your family to see my film, and many others!

In December 2022 I had my first couch-surfers and it's such an amazing way to meet new cultures without even leaving your house! I'm always open to meet new people and to experience new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking an 8 hour buss ride trough the Armenian-Georgian mountains in a van with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

I attempted to walk from The Netherlands to Luxembourg but enjoyed Belgium so much I decided to stay there and explore the Ardennes.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my favourite art forms is stop motion. Like it to much because its super hands on and you can make everything happen! the only thing you need is a (phone) camera and some creativity!
