I have a Dutch name ' Martijn' which I found out is a bit hard to pronounce in other languages, so I have learned to live with Martin in English, Martín in French and Mártin in Spanish.

I'm 27 years of age, studied my Masters in Tilburg and now work as a project leader at the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in Utrecht. I'm working hard on my career, but not without having fun.

In the Netherlands I am known as a 'Brabander', a hedonist and life enjoyer from the south. Always ready for a party, drink or (to cook some) good food. The latter I would gladly do for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
