Overview
About Me
Happened to be born and raised in the Netherlands. Always eager to hang out with couchsurfers, to have a good time together, and to broaden each other’s perspectives.
I travel around whenever there's the possibility, because I believe staying in one place in a big world like this is utter nonsense.
Currently finishing a MA War Studies in Dublin, driven by the perhaps naive hope that together with others I might help bring an end to war.
Sometimes back in Amsterdam.
There’s an old podcast episode about me. Look up “Hidde Zwirs - The Student Backpacker” on Spotify if you’re interested!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I liked the idea of free communal living before the platform became a for-profit
