Hey! Qué onda! My name is Rutger, yet to make it easier for everyone, you can call me Rudy. 🇳🇱🇲🇽🇪🇸 Backpacker from the Netherlands with a case of wanderlust. Traveling gives me a euphoric feeling of being free and enjoying life! Quiero conocer el mundo! No planear, ir a explorar los lugares del mundo.

Where the road will lead me, I do not know. And that is okay!

I'm on couchsurfing because I love the spirit and mindset of the CS'ers who I've met along the way.

To me, CS is not a dating app. I understand connections happen and if it does that's another matter, but I'm not on the here for dating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is my passion and I like to meet interesting, weird, and like-minded people :). To me, traveling in good company is key.

Interests

Love meeting new people and know about their interests and life. I listen to almost every type of music and always looking for new tunes. Open-minded and keen to almost any adventure in life.

You can always write me if you wanna meet up or get some tips about my city or country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gorillaz, Racoon, Foo Fighters, Colin Hay, CCR, Dave Matthews, Eric Clapton, Slash, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Ozzy, The Stones, Queen, Led Zep.

Wide appreciation for Techno, Psy-Trance and Hardstyle.

Movies? Don't get me started. Really, becuase I won't stop talking about it haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 I went on a trip in Baja California travelling with good friends. We rented a car for a few days and just went out into the wild. The first night we found an empty beach and decided to settle down for a night. What followed was one of the most memorable nights of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

To me, the most memorable things in my trips are the people i meet along the way. I love connecting with like-minded people and I especially enjoy knowing new cultures and vibing with people who live in a place. I also enjoy cooking and sharing a home cooked meal with others.

In any case, I'm happy to teach you some words in Dutch or Frisian :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My pancakes are delicious! These days, I can cook more than just pancakes haha. Above that, I love to talk about books, ideas, events and my passion is to get to know what drives people.
