"Hello fellow travelers and adventurers!

As a host, I'm welcoming, relaxed, social, friendly and outgoing, and love sharing my town with you. I’m Jelle, 37 years old and based in the Netherlands.

I’m someone who loves to explore—whether it’s a new city, a mountain trail, or an unfamiliar dish. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and discovering what makes a place truly local.

In daily life, I spend a lot of time with friends and family, and my girlfriend. I also like going to concerts, playing or watching sports, and enjoying good conversations over coffee or a cold beer. Music is a big part of my life, and I’m always up for a spontaneous plan or something a bit adventurous.

Couchsurfing to me is about connection, openness, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. Whether I’m hosting or surfing, I enjoy making genuine connections and learning something new from everyone I meet.

Looking forward to crossing paths and sharing good moments—somewhere, someday!

It would be nice if you could stay one night, but more nights are even better! With that we can make it a better experience with cooking dinner, seeing the nice part my town and the area has to offer and dive in the North Sea 🌊

If you stay at my place it would be nice if you give me three missions to do when I visit your country.

✌️,
Jelle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different cultures and show them my place which I just renovated in 2018. Also to have nice conversations, make new friends and meet the locals in new places.
