I believe that travelling, i.e. meeting different people while speaking and hearing new languages, experiencing new sights, sounds and flavors, and gaining a broader perspective, is the primary way we can move forward as a global community.

My partner, Lina, and I have collectively traveled to more than 30 countries on 5 continents, meeting so many wonderful people along the way. While at home in our adopted city of Rotterdam, we enjoy getting involved in the city and exploring all it has to offer.

If our schedules permit, we'd love to host you. Happy travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and find fun events at home and while travelling. To provide a safe and friendly place for fellow travelers to stay and learn.
