I'm Dutch, 24 years old. My greatest passion is music, that's one of the reasons I love working in a record store that much. I just graduated and started traveling with my GF Dionne for five months now. I'm really looking forward to our last country the US. Besides music I love sports, cultures, games and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to explore new countries and cities. And I would like some help from local people. I really like the sights in cities but interesting people will stick in my memory the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For my thesis my friends and I did a project about ADD and group development. How a person with ADD can affect group dynamics. And how a group can affect a person with ADD.

This journey with Dionne has been great as well. First I flew to Sri Lanka with my sister. I loved learning to surf! After that indonesia which had been beautiful. Especially Lombok. In Malaysia we did some volunteering with sea turtles and in Nepal we climbed in the Annarpurna.
So if you have any interests about traveling to Asia any time soon, we would love to give you some tips!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a degree in Social Work, it means no more then working with people. My interests are in group dynamics, cultural differences and empowering individuals/groups.

I'm always excited about sharing and talking about music. My favourite genres are electronic, pop, rock, jazz, experimental, soul/funk, reggae etc.
