I'm a real laid back dude. Polite, clean, empathetic, and considerate. I have lived in the state of Georgia in the USA most of my life. I am Dutch, visiting family and also revisiting France again at an older age to see, feel, and experience what I may have missed then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend suggested this app to me. I feel it would be a great way to see a place as the locals do and offer an alternative perspective than one I wouldn't experience staying at a hotel or hostel. I am here for a week to explore Côte d'azur and see where the wind takes me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach, Dutch and English. I would love to learn some French. I would love to learn more about your town, the history, treasures, culture, food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my good nature and gratitude w good company. I will offer to treat you to dinner and/or maybe some wine given the different circumstances, or even just help you with something around the house. But mostly my compassion and good conversation. I am a great listener and can try to offer what wisdom I may have. I love to talk about new ideas and progressive thoughts.
