Hi,

My name is Matthijs. I am living together with my girlfriend Yvette.
We have met each other in New Zealand and are together for 5 years now.
We live in Breda, which is a nice town that is not too big.
In the future we would like to move outside the city and live more in tune with nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are going on a bikepacking tour this year and are looking forward to meeting new people.
And besides that we would like to give back to all the generous people that have hosted us in the past.

Interests

• board games
• music
• cycling
• bass guitar

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz/Disco/Funk and various genres that are most often called "world music", which is a very unfortunate term.
I love watching movies and have a weakspot for westerns, science fiction and historical movies.
The books I read are sometimes educational, sometimes fictional. Lately been reading work by Kate Rawworth and Thomas Piketty, but also lots of Dutch literature.
