CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Me?
31 male from Holland.

What can I say? I love to travel, love to meet local people and get to know what the "real" live is like!

I like to kayak, it is my adventure, to be out on the water, surrounded by nature at its best!

I like to make glass art, but am just starting. I do stained glass and I have started glass blowing, but this will take some time. The bills are being paid by a nine to five!

Passionate about nature, it is in the genes with dad be a clogg-wearing flower grower!

New passion is Texas hold'em poker... I love the casino, the tension and the atmosphere..

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live! It takes all kinds for this planet to make it as interesting as possible. Try everything twice and keep what you like! Don't judge because you don't know, understand or it's not your thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am spreading the word amongst my friends... will take future surfers out to meet them, let them experience their lives as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had four experiences of strangers sleeping over at my place. The richest experience was a couple from america that was sleeping in the rain in the bushes near my house. We took them in and fixed their bikes.. it is hard to describe but it was a great feeling.
I have also been a regular on hitchhikers.org till it stopped, the people I have met through giving them rides was amazing! BTW I am still looking for Noell from the states, just in case anyone knows her ;-)

Interests

Kayaking, cycling, running when you are talking sporty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things? Meeting people is amazing, riding waves on the Ottawa river is amazing, Niagara falls is amazing at night when no one is there. Just having a smile from the same bus-driver each morning can be amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to take people paddling, it is not as dangerous as you think and you will see some sight from a perspective that is all new.
