Hey my name is Stan, 20 years old and studying nature (literally). I love to explore nature and people alike, and would love to make a lot of friends along the way. Wherever I go, my goal is to spread hapiness and be happy. You know, hippie stuff. I am very chill, flexible and open to a lot of new/random things. Hopefully see you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore different kinds of nature and cultures, hoping to make friends along the way

Interests

I think my favorite night would be a starry night with a campfire on a warm beach, surrounded by friends and music.
I also love climbing/bouldering, allthough I have mainly done that inside. I am the explorative kind, trying to do as much as possible when out and about.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste ranges from indie pop to heavy metal, allthoug I'm also open for other kinds of music. I make music myself with acoustic guitar and singing.
Sometimes I also read books, allthough not following a particular genre.
For movies, I like a lot. But I mostly watch anime.

Some recommendations:
Hawaii: part ll is a great music album
The chronicles of Ryiria is a great fantasy book series
Parasite is a great anime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Multiple day hike through Gunung Leusir, a national park in Indonesia with wild Urangutans. I have seen so many different species there, it was beautifull. There was even a male urangutan that was so big it could barely climb the trees

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Dutch, English, a lot about nature, acoustic guitar

I want to learn more about: new instruments, nature, different cultures, geopolitics and a lot of other things

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a very fun and chill experience! I would love to get to know each other and the area better. I you want, I can help with cooking or some other chore if it's not too big. But mainly, I hope to have a fun time together
