Hi!

Since I'm having a gap year and I've always wanted to visit the USA, especially the West Coast, I'm looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights somewhere in-between the 1st of June and the 1st of July. I'm really interested in the American way of life and the points of view people have on the other side of the world.

I would love to be on a classic American house party! If there is one on the agenda, hook me up!

I'm a social guy and (almost) never afraid to try new things. I would really like to meet new people during my California trip!

Some facts:
- I'm a former American Studies student
- I'm terrified of clowns
- I'm a decent cook
- I'm a DJ and I really love almost all kinds of music (from Jazz to House)
- I'm always up for a beer (curious about Ye olde American ales)

I don't have my complete trip all planned out, but these locations are on my list:

- Yosemite National Park
- Redwood Forest
- San Francisco
- Los Angeles
- Monterey Bay
- Santa Barbara

Suggestions and tips are always welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unoriginal answer incoming:

Since I'm traveling alone, it is really great to meet new people.
I really like the idea of couch surfing, since traveling can be expensive as hell.

You are always welcome in my home in Nijmegen, if you're ever visiting the Netherlands.
