Hi I'm Patrick but you can call me Patty!

Busy, blond Dutch guy that lives in Amsterdam at the moment! Born in a small village and grew up between cows and sheeps but couldn't resist everything the big city had to offer.

Currently writing my Master thesis but that almost done and then a new adventure is waiting: Australia!!! And that's something I'm really excited about :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend is an experienced couchsurfer and she got me onto here! She made some amazing friends this way and I can't wait for me to experience the same. That is to get the real local feeling of the cities I'm visiting and meet the people that make the city feel alive!

I'm couchsurfing with my girlfriend so if you want to take a look, here is the link to her profile:

Interests

I love everything that has to with football. I love playing it either indoors or outside. Watching football can be boring (depends who's playing) but with a group of friends and a few beers its always fun!

I LOVE exploring new cities and just wondering around, I think I would be able to do that the rest of my life!!

• writing
• beer
• soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

Big movie freak. I thinks it's impossible to have one favorite movie but my favorite ones would probably be: Mulholland Drive, Pulp Fiction, Interstellar and any every other movie by Christopher Nolan basically! I also like art-house movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one is easy! Studying abroad in Toronto for half a year! That was the most amazing time of my life!

Oh and I did a Euro trip with my Aussie mate which is good number 2 ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be able to teach you some Dutch but I don't think anyone would be interested in learning that language haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

Of course all my experiences in the countries I've visited or lived in! Also some cool places that are not in the Lonely planets but you should definitely see if you would ever come to Holland. Always up for a conversation, either educated or just talking about random stuff!
