About Me

I'm an easy-going, down-to-earth kind of guy, that lives for climbing, music, and travelling.
I play the guitar and the piano, I love to sing and dance, I like daydreaming, jaywalking and taking cold showers from time to time (also might be addicted to the tingling sensation you get in your nose after eating waaay too much mustard).
I'm the happiest when I am travelling and surrounded by nature. My main goal is to travel all over the world and in the process witness all of its beauty and experience true freedom!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people and making friends should be part of every journey, so why not use Couchsurfing as a tool to do so?

Interests

I love being surrounded by nature; Wildcamping in beautiful places, cycling or hiking through them.
After being in a big city I need to escape for a while and enjoy going back to basics, having fewer things or comfort, to feel free and live in the moment.
Always bring my tent with me wherever I go!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movie: Into The Wild
Favourite book series: Earth's Children
Favourite music: Too much to write down really (better check my Spotify or something), but I particularly enjoy jazz fusion, progressive metal, progressive rock, indie and folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a bicycle tour starting in The Netherlands, taking me through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and all the way back home.

Teach, Learn, Share

My English is all right, and I'd be most willing to help you improve. The same goes for Dutch.
Spanish is the next language I want to master, so a tutor would be very welcome!
As for music, you will never hear me say I'm any good, but I could help you with the basics in playing the guitar or just share my music. Always down for a jam 🎸!
I love making ingredients from scratch and cooking healthy meals with them. If you want I can teach or just share.
Furthermore, I am into bouldering, toproping, calisthenics and Shaolin kung-fu, so maybe we could work out/train together.
Always looking for new experiences, so for anything I can learn from you, I'd be eternally grateful!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Other than sharing stories, drinks and laughs, I can prepare meals, do the dishes, fix your bike, walk your dog or maybe even help you clean.
I can help you improve your Dutch and English.
If you have a piano or guitar I can play some tunes.
Also, in return, whenever you are close to my home or just passing through, know you'll always have a place to stay!
