About Me

Hello, my name is Daniel and I was born in Warsaw. I grew up mostly in the Netherlands in a town called Wassenaar, close to The Hague. I have a major in Aviation Engineering and currently heading for a Masters degree in Political desicion making by using technical analytical competences. I am a social person and mingle up with a broaden range of people from different backgrounds. I had the privilege to spend a long semester in the Middle-East where I have been faced with the cultural and social peculiarities of the Arabic culture. I've learned that colaborating with people from all over the globe enriches your general knowledge and broadens your perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the idea of residing at local people's house and firmly believe this gives you a more insight view of the culture and social habitats of these people. I do also believe this makes travelling more affordable for a broader range of people.

Interests

I like to participate in running events all over the world.
I like to meet new people with different backgrounds,
I like to learn new languages even though I am not good at it.
I am preserving the dream to go cycling from the south to the north of Vietnam.
