Tim, in a nutshell: Expatriate, university student perusing a masters degree. I'm trying to explore as much as possible without paying exorbitant prices. I've recently found the true beauty of travel: it's enjoying the experience vicariously (in my opinion).

I guess, what I'm trying to say is that my real passion is not going around and just snapping selfies at landmarks, but rather experience the culture via the experts—the locals.

Thats why I love the couchsurfing community

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently trying to make my way to all seven continents. It might get a bit tricky finding a couch in Antarctica...

Interests

I enjoy cross country running, anything that has to do with the beach on a sunny day, and spontaneous trips (hence me using this site :) I've recently been getting into geocaching. It's a pretty neat way to have an interactive tour around the area. So if you're interested, please feel free to ask!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was mugged of everything by fake cops in Lithuania and managed to hitchhike all the way back to Holland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be more than happy to cook if one asks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty good with my hands, and from what other tell me I'm a damn good cook. I'm always willing to chip in for beer and/or groceries, and I have no qualms cleaning. All in all I'm willing to help out around the house with whatever chores or tasks you need done.
