Hello,

My name is Dax Niesten :) i know its a weird name but for the star trek fans out there: my parents where trekkies so my father named me after one of the characters.
I live in the Hague with my mom, stepdad, brother, sister, dog and two cats. I've moved 6 times so far but all with in the netherlands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

im on cs because i told a friend of mine about my plans to travel and she recommended it to me as she used it to travel through italy and liked it very much. I also think its a great way to see more things, meet lovely people and learn a lot. I would love to collaborate on music with people and make music all over the world and i think cs could help me a lot with that.

Interests

My love for music began very young and im a second year music student now and can play the guitar, a bit of piano/drums and i sing. If you're ever in Rotterdam make sure to walk by the hema near the koopgoot and you'll probably see me stending there as im a street musician as well.

i love exercising. i run 3 times a week, cycle 2/3 times a week ( apart from the daily cycling as im dutch so i cycle everywhere if possible) and am a;ways in for a game of basketball + soccer + rugby and other things.

I'm a good cook as well if i may say so myself. I love cooking and just working with food. I still live at home but cook almost every night, bake and make my own bread. i can make quite delicious fresh pasta from scratch and the best brownie peanut butter cupcakes you've ever tasted.

playing games has also been a big part of my youth as we used to have game nights evert saturday but be carefull as im very competitive.

im not a very big drinker, dont smoke, or am a giant party animal but im always up for a fun night.

love musicals, reading, listening to music and theater as well
