Welcome to my profile! My name is Jelle, I would describe me as relaxed, social, friendly and outgoing. Normally I do live in 's-Gravenzande (very close to the beach and to The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam).

It would be nice if you could stay more nights so 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 ;-)

I do like to listen to music, go to concerts, likes to go out, to do sports, seeing friends and family. Like to read books, watch movies and documentaries travel to see more of this beautiful world, try to enjoy little things in life..

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

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.
