About Me

Chill guy from Amsterdam with a broad interest. Starting my third bachelor in September, this time medicine. I love learning new things and to get to know people. Also love to travel and get to know new places, preferably through a local's perspective. This way I have gotten to know many amazing people. If I have the chance I am always up to host another traveler here in Amsterdam to return the favour.

My biggest hobby is sailing. Sometimes I go surfing but I am quite bad at it, haha. Also when traveling in Georgia I adopted a stray dog. We love to take long walks together in the park or the forest.

Next to my studies I'm a boat driver and tourguide, so if you wanna know some fun facts about the city, shoot me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A while ago in Colombia a friend invited me to stay with a Couchsurfer. This experience was so great that I wanted to get a profile. It turned out I already had one since 2015, haha, but never made good use of it.
