Hi! My name is Niels Bakkeren, 27 year old bachelor living in Utrecht. I am what you call a big friendly giant (length 1.98m), but dont let that scare you. I wont bite (hard).

I've studied psychology in Utrecht for 5 years, currently I am an undergraduate-teacher at the same study from which i graduated for 2 years. I hope to pursue a career in personal development coaching in the nearby future.

A pefect day for me would entail exiting activities such as paintball or cayaking through the canals of utrecht, playing all sorts of games, doing drinks at a nice bar, partying and having drunk filosofical conversations about virtually anything, all in the company of nice people.

Im a very tolerant and open minded guy; i like meeting new people and I love to try out new things.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet new people and to explore new places.
