Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love travelling and meeting new people from different cultures. I love it when my views and stereotypes of places are completely changed after visiting them.
Travelling is more about the people you meet than the things you see

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you little things about all the places I have visited. And I can tell you about all the places to explore in the Netherlands.
Ofcourse I can also teach you loads of technical stuff if you are interested:P
Would love to learn how to speak Arabic and hear your life story:)
