Some years before me and a friend of mine rented a small house in Amsterdam. It was the time that I made the discission and moved to Amsterdam. In that time we hosted several guest from all over the world. For myself I didn't have the balls to invite guests and wasn't formilliar with couchsurfing. But I allways liked it when we could host guests in owr small house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to meet new people and get to know them. It is always interesting what other people drive to be here on this planet. I also would like to meet up with open and honest people who can help me out and realising

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 years old. I biked from Castricum to Gemert in one day. My friend, (the same guy who I was living with in Amsterdam) lived in Castricum and at the end of our bikeholiday we ended in his village. So after spending a weekend with him and his friends I had to go home. Taking the train was one option, but I decided to take the chance and start biking. After 12 hours of bike ride and 200 km further south I arrived home. The last 30 km I had to stand on the pedals because my ass was hurting to much. It was 24 years ago, no internet for the route, no gps. Just ask people and following the signs that are next to the road. I think, maybee that was the born of my traveling bug.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will tell and share my knowledge and pratice about cars. I can teach you all the thinks you need to know about your own car. How to change oil and oilfilter, fill up oil, checking tyrepressure, replace lightbulps, change brakepads, exaust system ore timing belt. So at that point it will give you a closer and clear look at the complexity of your car. So in that way it will make you less depended on the local cardealer and it can prevents high bills.
