About Me

Born in New Zealand, raised in the Netherlands.

I love traveling, meeting new people, learning new languages, fitness, play games, watch movies/series/anime.

Trying to be a 'yes-man'. This means that I try to say "yes" to a lot of things, inspired by the movie "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey. Saying yes (because why not?) has brought me in to adventurous situations which I wouldnt have been in, if I had said no. Because sometimes I think no, but than I remember I want to be a yes man and say yes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nice way to meet new people, learn more about the ways of living of the local people, or people that have become "locals".
