Grew up in the Netherlands & the United States. When I can get away from an office job I'm generally try to get out on the road and explore new parts of the world. I'm particularly passionate about budget travel, learning new languages and cultures, and meeting people who could offer a local perspective and encourage me to learn about their corner of the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Generally looking to meet new people whether I'm stuck at home or out traveling!
