I have been living in Amsterdam for over 12 years now. The last 4 years I studied History at the UvA. During my bachelors I studied 6 month in Prague. Last winter I handed in my bachelor thesis and at the moment I am preparing for my masters in Germany (Jena). Before my studies I travelled with my brother, mainly in Asia and the Middle East. This winter I fulfilled a long lasting dream: I bought (together with a friend) an old Mercedes van wich had a lovely living area build in already. Me and my girlfriend travelled through north-eastern Europe with it between april and july. At the moment I am still living in Amsterdam but hopefully I will move to Jena in october. There I would like to to my masters, but before that I should do a German test, for wich I am preparing right now! Wish me luck!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have quite some couch surf experiences, mainly in Asia and Central Asia. But I used to find couches through my brothers account (jonnevandermeijden), because we travel together. So all the reverences are on his account. Since a few years now I have my own account.

I am on Couchsurfing because I think it helps people not only to find an affordable way to travel, it also means you will meet people in a free and honest way, since money is not involved.
