Hi there, my name is Niels!
I just graduated (per 2015) from the study named above - in Dutch we call it PABO.
I will be a qualified teacher by the time you're reading this and teaching primary school kids in Amsterdam.

Travelling is my passion.
Together with my fantastic girlfriend (with just as fantastic Swedish roots) I'm seeing a lot of places in this world.
I could say that my favourite quote is the following:
"The world is like a book. The ones who don't travel only read one page."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This friend of mine told me about Couchsurfing.
Since I adore cultures myself, I wanted to give it a try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My vacations to Tanzania, Moldova, and Gambia in which it's not about being a tourist, but helping the local citizens. The volunteer experiences there were unforgetable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like my guests to bring a postcard of the place they come from. On this card I'd love to read a short text in English about themselves. I'll take this card to my class so that the children in this class will be able to learn from the people of other cultures. Please include a life lesson and a picture of yourself, too - the children will find it awesome.
