Well, obviously my name is Niels. I’m an adventurous kind of guy who loves photography!
Currently I set a challenge to myself of reaching New Zealand only by hitchhiking. I started from my hometown Biddinghuizen, somewhere near Amsterdam.

I love meeting new people and I think this is a great way of doing it! Since I only found out about Couchsurfing right before my trip I was not able to host before all this. But I would love to help other travellers from around the world when I’m back!
I also have an Insta account, so if you’re interested feel free to check out my pictures:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me it’s a great way of getting to know ‘the people’.

Interests

• music
• outdoor activities
• extreme sports

Music, Movies, and Books

You can make me happy with a great variety of music. Really like classical music, house, disco, dubstep, grime, uk-garage, drum and bass, reggae, but I favour experimental music in general!

Oh and a couple years ago I started playing the djembe in The Gambia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love doing extreme sports. Skydiving is one of them!
Also hitchhiking till Cambodia feels quite amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a thing or two about photography. But certainly can learn a great deal more about it! Always willing to share stories and getting to know you better! I’m also really into sports. Just of any kind! Would be fun if you could show me yours and teach me how to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try and help you with cooking and cleaning. Or other things that needs to be done:) Oh and if you want to learn the backflip I can probably learn you that to! I already taught a few haha
