About Me

Open, positive, travel fanatic Dutchman who enjoys meeting new people and laughing together.

Born and raised in the vicinity of Amsterdam, studied over there as well as in Hong Kong. To relax and stay fit I like to practice yoga, actually we start out our trip with a yoga teacher training in Goa (free yoga classes by us for our hosts!). Furthermore I'd like to visit a gym and lift some weights every now and then as well. we are also fanatic hikers, planning on hiking a lot to find the hidden treasures of nature and cities. Highly recommended routes are very welcome and greatly appreciated.

I love music and I am a DJ, more about that below. Furthermore I like to visit cultural venues such as museums, theaters or architectural gems, as we intend to discover local culture, we'd love to see some local play, music performance or join a dancing night. I also love to explore local cuisine and will definitely look for some cooking classes. Specifically I love Indian food, Chinese food and everything in between. Yes I can hear you thinking, and you are right, basically I am fat, at least mentally. Same goes for local brew and the circumstances you usually consume those. Considering the ambiguity of brew I will specificy: coffee, beers, tea and (rice)wine or whatever specialties the area has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of our big trip through India, Nepal, Myanmar, SE-Asia, China, HK, Mongolia, Russia (Trans Siberia express) and all other cool places we find on our path + fit our budget :)

Guess you're still waiting for number 2 by now...
