My girlfriend and I will soon be arriving in Bali and this is the last leg of our journey in south east asia.

ABOUT ME

I am a deep thinker and a dreamer. I like to read articles and watch documentaries. When I have free time I am usually designing/drawing something or I am cycling around the neighbourhood. Here is some of my art and design work if you want to have a look https://www.behance.net/robvandermerwe .
I like to surround myself with passionate and friendly down to earth people who are open to new ideas.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not a floater. I have dreams and ambitions and I believe that I can do anything that I put my mind to

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make friends with people from all over the world. I don't want to be a tourist but a traveler. I want to share and hear your stories.

I will appreciate whatever is offered to me and will reciprocate appropriately. I am responsible and reliable and will be grateful for whatever is offered to me. I want to meet people from all walks of life while embracing the culture and lifestyle of the people who are hosting me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that I have accomplished lately was getting my Open Water Divers License in Koh Tao, Thailand. Now that I have it I have discovered this tranquil underwater world I think it will be forever a hobby of mine.

The underwater world is a nice, peaceful place where the only sounds you hear are your own regualtor and bubbles.

Next mission is to get my SSI Free Divers License in Bali!
