Hi there!

I am Teun, a 23 y/o student studying Sustainable Development and living in Utrecht. I am passionate about sustainability, international relations, other people and their cultures! In short: just being able to learn a little bit more each day of this planet we live on :) Besides that, I love to play guitar, go to concerts and festivals, and of course travelling!
I've played baseball for a couple of years, but now I mostly cycle a lot (gotta stay Dutch) and I play squash sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from all around the world, showing them what regular life in Amsterdam is like, but also meeting other people abroad to see what their lives are like in other countries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled hitchhiking in a milk truck through Serbia, climbed a volcano in Guatemala and celebrated dia de los muertos in Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Dutch things of course, and tell you about the culture (hint: we do not wear clogs in daily life ;) ).

Of course I love sharing my travel experiences and I am very curious about yours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around Amsterdam, going for some coffee/beer. I like to host people who are open and want to share some things themselves as well!
