My name is Philly and I'm from Haarlem, The Netherlands. I work online, which I love because it gives me the freedom to travel a lot and I never have to get out of bed before 10AM! I ❤ sleep.

I'm a bit of a nerd, I usually laugh at silly jokes and I sometimes cause some foolish situations in public since I trip a lot. I love reading Donald Duck and buying junk at flea markets.

I'm a social person and interested in other people, but I need a small daily dose of alone time too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially the ones like myself who carry pride in their daily routines and take pleasure in involving others into their own world.

I also like to host people and try hard to make everyone feel welcome, show them around and give good advice.

Interests

I'm a vegan and I like to do groceries, trying new recipes and eat. Eat a lot! I'm also very into coffee & cake ☕❤

I love animals. I have a cat myself and I always go around petting any street animal that I can lay my hands on ^.^

Sleeping!
Anytime, anyplace, anyday. In a hammock, on a boat, in the parc, on the beach. In a bed, on a couch, in the train. Nap is my middlename!

I like abandoned places, since I am a big fan of Urbex photography.

I think sightseeing is at his best while riding a bike, walking, taking a boat trip or a local bus. I get itchy when I see buses filled with tourists.

Sports: I've got a poor condition and I am a bit clumsy. But I know how to ride my bike and love to dance. I can hike, swim, peddle and climb my way up to a beautiful view, as long there is time for a occasional pause to catch my breath.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked with a friend from The Netherlands to Italia. It was really a exciting (scary!) but also beautiful experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, I like to share my silly and sometimes dark sense of humour, my smile and my curiousity.

Secondly, I might share the sound of my snoring... Apologies in advance.

I can show you how to cook some Dutch dishes, and write the recepies down for you if you fancy them ^^

If I can help you with things work-related, don't hesitate to ask.
