About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After five years of continuously studying I feel the urge of going on an adventure on my own, escaping the hasty city life.

ABOUT ME

extremely tall and blond, so tall that you can see me anywhere on the world. I would say that I'm a friendly guy who likes to have fun. Once in a while it's good to have a serious conversation about world issues though. What I like most is cycling, in the flat surroundings in Holland I practice my racebikking skills several times a week. Besided this I also teach high school kids who are having problems at school. I started this little enterprise with two other friends 2 years ago, while traveling through africa. We are still up and running!

PHILOSOPHY

within certain boundaries it doesn't matter where you travel, it matters more how you travel. keeping this in mind, im sure i'll meet like-minded people on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Learn from each others cultures. I'd love to host and participate in CS by exchanging knowledge about languages, food, habits and what not.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

nothing yet, but cannot imagine that CS is going to dissapoint me.

Interests

to bring people together and to meet all different cultures! thats why i also joined AIESEC last year. It was so much fun to meet all different cultures from all around the world. I am convinced that´s a good way to learn a lot about life.
