Online again since September 2025

I'm Frederik, a Dutch national living and working in the beautiful city of Leiden.
I love to hang out with friends, play a board game and always looking for a new travel destination.
I'm an open-minded and easy going person who is always in for good conversation and fun activities.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

During my backpacker years I have couch-surfed a few times and went to great couchsurfing meetups.
Now, many years later, I find myself in the position to give something back to the community.
It's sad that Couchsurfing is not as big as it was before but I still hope to meet some interesting people.

During my travels I have met many people from all over the world and I have many expat colleagues at my job.
I really like to talk about traveling and other countries and share stories.
