Overview
About Me
Ola bom dia! Tudo bem? Yes, from Holland, but living since July17 in Portugal. The weather, food and nature keeps me here. Since I was born in '85 I always knew I was an adventurer, exploring things. Being 33 exploring is still in my blood and why not use the help of a local, who knows best what to explore, feel and experience in his or her own city :) I've couchsurfing just once to be honoust, but why not give it another shot. Looking for a positive and funny guy> You can couch me in ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couches also need warmth...

Music, Movies, and Books
Music almost everything, I stick to the travel books and humorous novels / love watching movies (with Shawshank Redemption and Les Intouchables as personal favorites)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travelling with just local transport from Zanzibar - Mombasa, Kenya was just amazing. Got stuck on fishing boat halfway and without food/water in the middle of the sea, coz we run out of gasoline. No fun at all, but a good ol' story after all.
Climbing Huayna Potosi. What a climb, up to 6km altitude. When we finally got at te top, there was zero view. 10 minutes strawl down for 3 hours, while being exhausted.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, I can tell you a couple of stories about being robbed, getting into bad situations and getting threatened in Capetown's KFC. And of course about fun travelstuff! :)
