I am a student from the Netherlands who is going to start his master next year (finance). I don't know where yet but I consider studying abroad and maybe in Asia.

I am open to learning new things and I guess that's why my hobbies change every few months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to travel to Taiwan, South Korea and Japan for 3 to 4 months and maybe Hong Kong and Singapore. What I like about couchsurfing is that I will meet locals in these countries and when I only stay in hostels I will not have the opportunity to meet interesting from these countries. To me it seems very interesting to get to know people who live on the other side of the world and live in some aspects very similar lives yet in other aspects very different lives. I hope that by couchsurfing I can learn more about the people and culture of the countries I visit and share wonderful experiences with you. That's why I decided I would love to combine staying at hostels with couchsurfing during my trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Sagrada Familia, The Cathedral really impressed me when I visited it as a child and I was intrigued by what the human mind is capable of.
Also staying in Zion, which shows the wonders of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I currently draw a lot. I'm interested in realism and cartoon styles (more realistic)
I can teach some boxing, kickboxing, drawing (not much)
Share: Party! I have not gone out much last year as I was focused on my studies and working a lot, but I will definitely get my old wild side out for some memorable nights!
I also enjoy evenings where the essence of life or one's aspirations are shared.

I also like to learn or teach languages. I am currently studying English, German and Spanish.
My native language is Dutch

I hope I can tell about my country, give some language lessons or just have a great time!
