ABOUT ME

Hello everyone!
My name is Patrick and I live in The Hague, the Netherlands. I'm 34 years old and my profession is a physiotherapist. I am a very kind, relaxed and also energetic guy who can catch up with anyone and make easily friends. I'm very open-minded and eager to learn as much as possible in life.
I think it's fantastic to meet people from all over the world and hear about their stories!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat another person as you want to be treated

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the travelling world of backpackers and couchsurfers, open minded people, have interesting conversations and lot's of fun!
I enjoy meeting you, couchsurfers, and want to learn a lot from eachother!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no couchsurf experience, but I think it would be a great manner to meet nice people and visting places in an other way.

Interests

I love to dance! I have danced salsa for more than 10 years and zouk for about 8 years. Zouk is a really beautiful and sensual dance from Brazil and it is a mix of lambada and modern dance. For me dancing is a natural drug, I'm addicted to it and I cannot live without. Every week there are many salsa and zouk parties in the The Hague area.
Besides dancing I also love to have a drink in the pub. I really love Irish Pubs and its live music, I so love the atmosphere of that!
I also play guitar, at least I'm learning, but I love it! It would be nice to play guitar with a host so we can learn and listen to eachothers music!
I like languages, I speak also Spanish and at the moment I take lessons in Brazilian Portugese.
I'm really interested in a lot of things so you can talk to me about anything and you'll have my fully attention!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited New-Zeeland in 2004, truly the most beautiful country in the world!
In 2006 I back-packed in South America for six months. The best experience in my life! I have lived in Cusco, Peru for three months and I learned to speak Spanish and did voluntary work as a physiotherapist in a hospital and with children to teach them English. After that I travelled for three months more through South America and met the nicest people and saw amazing nature!
