I grew up in and around Rotterdam. I spend my time reading books (not just philosophy, by the way), listening to music, playing the guitar and playing video games.

In other words, most of my days I spend in some solo activity, which is why I love meeting new people when I go abroad. I want to learn more about the arts and culture of other places too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my holidays, I'm looking for a relaxed time. I want to meet new people and see interesting places. So of course couchsurfing is my first choice! I would love to see how people live in other parts of Europe, and have a nice time with them. And, of course, I want to see more of the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Most of life comes quite easy if you're just friendly to people, especially if at first you don't understand them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty, either by cooking (I'm not a bad chef if I may say so myself) or by cleaning. And I'm always up for a good conversation.
