Hi, my name is Joel and I live in Purmerend, a city near Amsterdam (about 25 kilometres or 25 minutes by car or public transportation).

I'm Friendly, easy going, passionate, curious, adventurous, caring, optimistic, but stubborn at times haha.

Also I love going on trips, anything outdoors, I'm down.

I enjoy all kinds of activities: going to bars with good beer, restaurants with good food, places with live music, historic spots, beautiful locations etc…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, while traveling is fun it's the people who make it memorable!

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to read a lot when I was younger, but it got less and less over time.

When it comes to movies and music this section is not big enough to sum it all up, but here is a small selection.

I have a very variable taste in movies. There are too many to mention. But here is one I've seen recently: The revenant

Music: also very variable. I like pop, d'nb, electro, house classics, rock, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and more. Music is kinda like oxygen to me. I'm a crate digger (vinyl collector).
