Hello world,

Instead of writing this 'About Me' myself, I've asked some of my friends to write some nice things about me. After all, they are the ones that seem to know me better than myself.

"Nick is a great house-trained guy (pretty OCD at times). He's a great cook and will be a nice guest. He never stayed with me though, since we live in the same city.''

''Nick talks a lot at times, usually about interesting stuff. A bit too good at card games. Is a great host for his friends, from cooking six course dinners to high wine nights. Often on the move and missed by his friends.''

''Never seems to waste a chance to meet new people. Instant connector and amazing company. Will end up marrying an Australian guy and never return. Great company.''

As for myself, I can only add that I will indeed be a nice guest / company and will gladly make you a dinner - preferably with fresh fish - or have one with you. I have given up alcohol for a while now and never got up to smoking (I know, as a Dutch guy I'm expected to be high 90% of the time) but promise to be social company anyway. If you like card / board games I'm happy to beat you in a game. (Risk / Catan / Monopoly for life!).

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Happy to meet new people - from local wildlife to other people from distant shores that have made their way around. Happy to return the favour at my cozy place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
