My name is Michael and I'm from the Netherlands! Based in Breda I study Biofuel Chemistry at Avans University. At the moment I can't host anyone since I am in China untill February 2019 however I'm willing to help everybody with all sorts of questions for instance to get in contact with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last August 2017 until January 2018 I studied in Brazil as an exchange programme (internship). This is one of the main reasons why I signed myself up, to meet local people during my stay in the country. Furthermore I believe it is a good way to meet new people n the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical taste is broad. I usually listen to music matching my vide of the day which can be Classic, Deep House, Lounge, Rock (like Coldplay) and even Hardcore.
I like foreign movies, at the moment I like the Brazilian movies a lot because they help me get to know the culture.
I usually don't read real books, but I am always seeking for interesting scientifical subjects online, in
magazines or even newspapers.
