hey I am Stijn. I live in Purmerend. A City just above Amsterdam. I am very adventurous and hungry to explore the little treats in this life as we always only know just a spec of it. in my experience of 26 years of excistence on this planet I am a really big fan of authenticity and I love to be admired by what a universe someone beholds and to be inspired or to learn from each and any individual uniqueness.

I always use my expression ''people are like stars in the universe. Each is unique and different. there has never been the same star before as one is alive now and there won't ever be the same one after.''

I am a guy that loves backpacking as you might have seen on the list of countries I have seen so far, I like concerts, I like festivals, I am a big movie lover holding a lot of art and hidden messages. I like adventures and roadtrips and simple just enjoying laughter and the passage of time with people. I am also very interested having pure fun just as having deep meaningful conversations and philofosy/psychology

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydived from a height of 4km!!

Teach, Learn, Share

i was 20 flying to New Zealand. I had a layover in Dubai and I spontaneously started chatting with this man good in his 60's. We were getting real and spiritual and our visions of our life's on this planet floating in nothingness. he told me in pure solitude that nothing in this life matters except love. It doesn't matter what we do, love is the foundation of all our purposes on earth. we are human creatures so before anything, before money or jobs or economy there is love. Without it there is no purpose in any of it's foundations

What I Can Share with Hosts

guests and travellers are not at home, you are going to a home address of a total stranger. Therefore I find a lot of value to always create a form of space or comfort to play it by ear what the guest is in the mood for or what they need. I am always pro in for having fun, cooking together, going out in the city or like anything. I could be a good house keeper for a comfortable, nice, enjoyable and valuable time
