CURRENT MISSION

Photographer doing a round the world trip on a motorbike!! (So momentarily not able to host!) Mostly volunteering in different projects via Workaway (www.workaway.info) but always looking for fun people to hang out with and to show me around in your city!

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Pieter and I'm 34 years old. I have a bachelors degree in cognitive psychology and I used to live in Lillehammer, Norway. After a many years of dreaming I've finally gathered the courage to leave everything behind, buy a motorcycle and ride all over the world. I would be very happy to pass by your place and share a good experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a great time surfing in Koppang, Norway, with Anne-Grete and friends of hers, and more recently, a more-then-I-bargained-for stay in Tromsø with Karstein and Ida, who have been extremely friendly and hospitable!

During the youth winter Olympics here in Lillehammer I've hosted a volunteer, and she arranged a few access passes for us when everything was sold out :-)

After that I've hosted several guests that were passing through on various adventurous trips in the Norwegian mountains or other endeavours!;) Hikers and Pilgrims, to sum it up!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested in playing the piano or interested in languages then there should be plenty of opportunities to learn and teach!
If you play an instrument other than the piano and want to teach me something then I would be happy to learn!

Also, if you want to know a thing or two about Photoshop, I can teach you some things as well :-)
