Hello! I'm Chiel.

I'm a thoughtful, music-loving 23 year old dutch guy who recently received his bachelor in analytical chemistry. I enjoy working out (fitness), reading (fantasy) books, gaming, going to festivals/concerts and listening to (electronic) music. I've been a bass guitar player in a cover band for several years, have recently started to take up (self-learned) piano playing and (try to) produce electronic music with my computer. I also have a bi-weekly hourly music podcast that I make with a friend that contains music which we're both passionate about.

I'm currently residing in Osaka for a few weeks to do some volunteering and experience the cherry blossom hype. Will be making daytrips to surrounding cities like Nara and Kyoto

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Recently, I've been working as a (forensic) food analyst to save up for traveling through Asia. Before taking the next big step in my life, which will either be going for a Masters degree or working (abroad?), I would love to see and experience more of the world. I'd love to learn more about foreign cultures, music and people. I consider myself a hard-working individual and if there is any possibility of me returning a favor, you can expect my fullest effort and dedication!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hopped in a car with a few of my mates to drive to London (from Holland) in a weekend to see Above&Beyond in concert. Arrived, had the most amazing night of my life, went back home.

教，学，和分享

I studied analytical chemistry, but I'm sure that knowledge isn't very interesting for everyday use :P. I know some basic music theory and can teach a bit of bass guitar. I can cook excellent dutch cuisine such as "Stamppot" or "Wentelteelfjes".

I'd love to learn more about culture from a local instead of getting it from a tourist book or movie. Also, I have a quest to eat/try/devour some crazy food.
