I am Wouter van der Wal and I teach on a high school. I am teaching my students about cultures and society. Besides I coach pupils. And I love practising entrepreneurship. I love to receive inspiration and if possible to give inspiration. About? Everything! Currently I am starting a business with food and health for sporters in my city Utrecht.

I am a great fan of sports and making fun in that! I find it important to do what I like . And at the moment, that is much about sports and my job. I practise track and field. I am a starter in it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is nice to meet new people. It gives a lot of chanches to become a richer person by making and sharing experiences.

When I travel, I like to meet people and to find a balance between beiing on my own and going my own way and meeting people and make trips with other people. To meet new people. To tell stories. To make stories. To have fun. So that is why I make my first journey in wich I depart and return alone. But in the meanwhile I like to meet many people, local also, and to spend time together. CS is awesome because these people are very kind and welcoming an have many ideas! The last idea is participating in the runforyourlives! How cool!? Thay's why I am on CS!

Interests

Sports. People. Activities. Chilling. Making fun. My interests are many I guess. As long as I can make fun in it. And as long as it is relaxed! Not lame, but relaxed. And those are many things. Perhaps this is a little vague, but I think that is because my interests are many!
