About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to see the world, seek out new homes and new friends, to boldly go where every couchsurfer has gone before

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher who still feels like a student who hasnt seen enough of the world and wants to meet new people and see new things
Easy going and can talk alot and love it also. Am near fluent in English and do speak a bit of German. Just don't want to talk abotu Dutch politics (its one of the reasons I make my trip around the world now).

Can cook very well, and love to do it. I just don't eat meat and fish (and wont cook it). Milk, eggs, cheese etc I do eat

PHILOSOPHY

Never quit learning and try to learn 1 new thing every day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm making a trip around the world, going to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, America and the Dutch Antilles (and maybe further).
As I don't have much money to stay in hotels every day, and I want to meet new people, I joined CS.
I hope that this year will bring me closer to alot of new friends and that they may come one day to the Netherlands so I can return the great favor they've given me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on a few couches, beds, futons and even a air bed.
The places I've stayed where in Japan, Australia, Hawaii and America.
I don't want to see myself as an experienced traveler but so far I've seen a lot of nice places.

Interests

I got a lot of interests, one of them is ofcourse traveling.
Others are writing and reading, playing (board and video) games, scouting and making new friends

  • writing
  • cooking
  • cheese
  • politics
  • reading
  • traveling
  • teaching
  • mathematics

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I like nearly all movies, just not the chickfliks

Music:
If the band got a bass guitar, normal guitar, drums and nice vocals I can enjoy it. I dislike R&B, trance, hiphop and typical Dutch songs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot, but the best thing was jumping out of an airplane. I can recommend it to everyone.

Also making this trip around the world is amazing. So far I've been from Japan to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America, and what the future brings I don't know, but it sure will be good.

Teach, Learn, Share

Like i said in my philosophy, I like to learn something everyday, no matter how small the contribution can be
I can teach people everything from being Dutch to maths

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Fiji, Japan, New Zealand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Netherlands
