About Me

I'm currently traveling through South America with no return ticket. Working my way up from the south (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia) all the way to the Caribbean. I'm learning Spanish, but it's not very good yet. I’M NOT LOOKING FOR ROMANCE ON COUCH SURFING!! NO ESTOY BUSCANDO ROMANCE EN COUCHSURFING!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

NOT LOOKING FOR DATES!
Of course in the first instance I made an account so I can sleep in someone's house while I'm traveling and meet locals, save some money. But as I am traveling alone, I like to use the medium to find fellow travellers that want to see things in the city and have drinks as well (not as a date). So hit me up if you want to explore things :)

Interests

I'm a big fan of (kick)boxing, back in Amsterdam I practiced a lot. Now I try to find gyms wherever I go. Also open to learn other things of course, in Brazil someone took me to Jiu Jitsu and it was amazing. I'm willing to try dance, but please don't laugh because I won't be good at it.

I also really like food, people are always surprised how much I can eat. I on the other hand, am always surprised when people don't finish their food.

Oh and I get very happy when I meet people's pets, even better if I get to stay in a house with cats or dogs. I heard there are places here in South America where sloths just come into people's home and live there. If I were to see this on my trip, I could die a happy person after.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: big fan of the Reggae and Dancehall. But I also like some good old Folk and Indie, Hip Hop and I have a weak spot for certain jazz. I will not get excited about techno any time soon...

Movies: I don't know where to start, addicted to movies and series. Some favourites would be: A clockwork orange, Django Unchained, What we do in the Shadows, Léon, Mulan. I don't like the genre horror too much.

Books: I'm not a big reader

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing for me is what I'm doing right now. I quit my job and left my home to go travel a continent by myself. I know this is very common on this platform, but for me this is very life changing and amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to box, that's pretty much all I'm good for I'm afraid...

I'm open to learning if you're enthusiastic about teaching me something. But I would be most grateful if the thing you want to teach me is Spanish, because I really need to learn this language.

Sharing, I'm afraid I can't share a lot of physical things since my whole life is in a backpack. But I am always willing to share wine, ubers, food and stories.
