I'm Niels, 24 year old dutchie. I love to travel and meet up with new people. Have been travelling for a while, visited over 40 countries and still counting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, especially locals. They know all the ins and outs of that area. Can you introduce to new people, show you around, tell you the best spots to eat etc.

Interests

I have been making videos and photos most of my life. When I'm travelling with friends we always come back with lots of pictures. Also I'm liking riding with the bike, just got it 2 years ago but already loving it. Really intrested in exploring the area, I like to find the countries hidden gems that only locals know about. I would say good food is one of the most important thing. That's why I like to try alot of diffrent things and sometime end up coming back home with a cool recipe.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm quite openminded with music, books and movies. Can almost watch and listen to everything. Music sometimes depends on the mood to be honest. But mainly I listen to hiphop, latin and lately I'm more into EDM.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing I always think it was amazing is when we went camping in Hawaii. In the middle of the night me and my friends were looking for a sleeping spot. After a while we found some bushes and wanted to check it out. After a little walk we ended up at the beach with a bit of jungle in the background. So we decided to put our hammocks in the trees and camp out there. The next moring we woke up with an amazing sunset, huge waves and a stunning beach. Was really flabbergasted by the spot we ended up, but we only realised it when the sun came up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to learn how to cook, speak a new language or getting a new skill. I can teach you some things about photo- or videography, teach how to flip or take you on a ride with the bike. Like I said earlier, I've been in alot of places, so I got a ton of stories to tell and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lot's of stories and good energy. Help you out with learning a language that I speak, photos, videos, flips or maybe you need a hand around the house.
