Hi! I'm Paul, an open minded and laid back dutch guy, who is living in the centre of Gouda. Living day by day and enjoying the little things in this world. Until a few years ago, my sport waterpolo was a significative part of my life. This brought me to Thessaloniki in Greece, where I played and lived for about a year.

These days I'm working as a freelance projectmanager in civil engineering for several clients. My job is great! In my spare time I hag out with my friends and travel as much as possible. I'm still trying to find the ultimate balance between working, friends at home and traveling.

Since a few years I’m pretty much into cycling. I did some bikepacking in Holland and I’m thinking about traveling through Europe by bicycle. Suggestions are most welcome!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from all over the world and share stories. I love the traveling vibe surfers give me when they are around. It gives me the feeling I'm actually travelling myself...

During my travels I discovered how wonderful it is when local people help you and give you advise. It's a great to feel welcome. By being a host I want to return the favor. Be welcome!
