About Me

Hi😊, I'm Jonathan from Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I work as an Electrical Engineer at Philips, and I see traveling not just as a hobby—but as a way of life.

I love meeting open-minded people, sharing great moments, and exchanging travel stories. I'm always curious to explore new cultures, local traditions, and the unique history of every place I visit.

Some of my favorite things: going to concerts and museums, watching good movies, walking or cycling around cities, and cooking meals with (and for) new friends.

My dream? To travel around the world—slowly, meaningfully, and with lots of human connection along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, making friends from around the world, and sharing cultures and stories.

Interests

I’m passionate about traveling and discovering new cultures, people, and perspectives. I enjoy staying active through sports and love cycling—whether it’s exploring a new city or cruising through nature.

Cooking is also one of my favorite ways to relax and connect with others. I enjoy trying out local recipes and sharing meals and stories with friends along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy live music, good films that make you think (or laugh!), and books about travel, history, or personal growth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking a volcano ,feeling the earth rumble under my feet—that moment made me feel both tiny and alive.
