Heya everyone! Im Kevin, a dutch 22-year old who loves to travel and explore the world. Meeting new people is always a blast.

"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?"
~David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

"I want to see Mountains, Gandalf, Mountains!"
~Bilbo Baggins

*IMPORTANT* I am not anti-social, if you'd like a quite 'Im not here'-kinda person, then Im not the one!

I can be quite the talkative person.

I am interested in the how people interact with each other, and I plan to study along that path. I picked up the Violin two years ago and I am a great fan of art in its many forms. I am always down for a good chat, a movie, a walk or a coffee. If given the chance I will cook, since I love cooking.

I've been working in bars and cafes for as long as I can. And I love my occupation. There is not much to say about my work other then my love for human interaction.

PS, after my mom stopped making photo's of me, they became a rare phenomena.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After years of prosponing, I decided it was time: I will go backpacking. My first adventure was in Ireland.

Why I am couchsurfing? I'd love to meet people from all over the place. How else to truly be in a new country.

Interests

I'd love to learn Spanish and travel through South-America. To eventually go as far south as south goes.

Let's inspire each other, doing good is contagious.
