Hello!

I'am Joël van Rooij and I'am a traveller from the Netherlands. I’m a guy who likes to meet new people, talks about almost everything and is always open to new things. Do you have some History to tell about or some culture to share? Just let me know! I have some Humour but i can also be serous when needed

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just finished my advertising education at an art academy in the Netherlands, and at the moment I’m doing Interrailing through some parts of Europe to see new places and meet new people. I like to talk with people about their experiences and would love to learn more about their own culture ( and facts)
