My name is Laurens, pronounce as you please.

Graphic designer and maker of things. I like to point out things that I see or encounter to people and explain why I point it out.

Biggest hobbies are wandering and digging through thriftstores and playing rugby with the Amsterdam Lowlanders (Dutch LGBTQ+ rugby team). Besides this I love to work with my hands. Few examples of many are repairing old furniture, bookbinding, gardening... when these things fail to clear my mind, I put on my rollerlades and follow the asphalt. For guests: got a spare pair size 43/9 so let’s roll!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because meeting a random someone who is willing to host you, crash your place or travel along with you, always imbeds an element of surprise that you wouldn't encounter by never saying yes to the unknown. This reminds me to gain something from every experience in life, whether they’re good or bad.

Metalhead trapped in the body of an Avril Lavigne fan. Or the other way around.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I won a free T-shirt at a concert by downing a beer and half a cucumber in a face-off on stage. Note: cucumber is the only thing that grosses me out! It was not pretty.
But in a travel-context: climbing Mount Merbabu on Java to see the sunrise at the top was pretty damn awesome.
