I'm an easy going and open minded guy. I try as much as I can to step out of my comfort zone in order to grow as a person.
Taking risks is always challenging but if never taken there is always regrets and wonder to what could have been, so I try to do and see as much as possible.

After travelling around Europe and living mostly between NL and UK I am currently settled in Amsterdam.

I have met many fellow couchsurfers and stayed with a few over our journeys and feel that we are now in a position to offer a couch to others, I work a lot still but will try to make time for the right surfers :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This app is absolutely amazing for meeting like minded people from all over the world, be that in another country or from the comfort of your own home. I've made many friends and incredible stories with the help of couchsurfing.
It's great to experience the real life of another country through somebody elses eyes by staying in somebody's home, trying their food, hearing their stories, instead of following the flock to touristic traps from a soul-less hotel.

Interests

Travelling, hiking, camping, music, going to the beach, swimming, cooking, experiencing different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love loads of different kinds of music. . . . Too many to name! Mø, Adele, James Bay, Major Lazer, Haim, Hozier. . .
I am a big fan of Quentin Tarantino movies, horrors, psychological thrillers, any movie that can make me feel something

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived on a boat for a month in outback Australia as an orange picker

Saw the apostles on the great ocean road

Travelled alone to the other side of the world with barely any money

Lived in a tent for 2 months on a farm in Amsterdam after planning to visit for 2 nights

Cycled from Rotterdam to Amsterdam on a broken bike with all of my possessions on my back

Seen the Alps (from a distance but plan to get closer soon)

Quit my job to go travelling and haven't looked back

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy language swapping and assisting with English (in exchange for your language is a bonus) . . . That also works with food, cooking, drinks, culture and stories !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share experiences, maybe help with English if you like, swap stories, cook together (I used to be a chef) and help around the house. Anything really :)
