I'm a Dutch guy, living in Leiden together with my girlfriend and our cat, Hector. Few years ago I graduated college and now work as a consultant. Our small apartment in Leiden is right in de city's centre and overviews historcal sites, like the city hall and the old fortifications.

Through my work I travel a lot to European countries. I'm keen on travelling, getting to know the society and history of places where I am and on meeting new people. To broaden my world view I joined couchsurfing; because I've experienced that the best way to get to know a country is to spend time with the people living there.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet new people, get to experience cities and places in a way that tourist's guides and tourist information cannot guarantee the way a local can.

To share my knowledge with yours and to learn from you.
