Easy going guy, living in Wormerveer just outside Amsterdam, in a nice appartment right next to the railway station and the river (Zaan). It's in the old center right above/next to restaurants, cafe's and shops. I work as a campaigner for a non-partisan pro-democracy NGO and I regularly write for newspapers and magazines (plus a few books). I'm also into esoteric stuff, especially anthroposophy.

I love music, going out, dancing, a good smoke, movies, the beach, philosophy, history, social sciences.

My social media are www.facebook.com/arjen.nijeboer and www.instagram.com/arjennijeboer and if you google me, you'll also find enough :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people from all around the world who share my interests. Plus I like the sharing economy and I think life for all of us would be much more pleasant if we would help each other more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was directly involved in making citizen-initiated referendums possible in my country, and gained several other political victories as a campaigner as well :)
