Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give some cycle-advise. (Netherlands, and many European countries).
Can ride together in my vicinity, maybe host other biker(s) or find a place at a farm in my family.

Hope to meet bikers elsewhere and to ride together.
E.g. I did in Arizona/New Mexico April 2007 because I don't always like to be a lonesome cowboy.
Plans: to cycle Enschede-Berlin-Budapest-Sarajevo in 2008

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In AZ and NM USA I have been a couch surfing guest some times. Wonderful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the shade of Adam's Peak, a place where many religions respect each other (Sri Lanka).
Cycle in Arizona, New Mexico (USA) and in the Grand Canyon/Monument Valley area.
Sorry, not one but 500 amazing things: here are two.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I've a good idea about spending leisure in an active way such as traveling without luxury but enjoy the simple things and enjoy even more when other people can participate in this way of life.

Countries I’ve Visited
