CURRENT MISSION

Abusing my post-student existential crisis as an alibi to travel.

ABOUT ME

Born, raised and studying in Delft, the Netherlands. Used to be a fanatic race cyclist. Built a solar powered race car to race through the Australian desert. Plays bass guitar in a Funk & Soul cover band. Recently graduated for my master in applied mathematics and now taking time off before starting my grown-up life.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open for new people and adventures, cherish the ones you already faced.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spend a couple of nights at a Couch Surfing host at Split, Croatia. The couple (Kristina & Stipe) was very welcoming. It was a perfect combination of getting to know the local people and explore the city on our own. On a rainy day we spent the day making music, cooking food and drinking wine and it was great!

Wish to host in the future when I left my student home.
