CURRENT MISSION

To know what matters in life and not to worry

ABOUT ME

I (Rick)grew up in The Netherlands and immigrated to Canada with my whole family early 2003, I met Nancy in 2004 and married her a few years later. We will be traveling/hosting together. We'd love to meet people from all over the world.
We like having good conversations about pretty much anything like politics/sports/cultures etc.

We both like to play sports like baseball and soccer.

PHILOSOPHY

“Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are independent so we don't "have" to be entertained but if you are around and have time we'd love to spend time together and share stories and/or be shown around the city when surfing.
We (and by that I mean my wife) might even cook you a lovely meal :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Travelled through Europe and surfed in Belgium,Germany, Switzerland and France.
We also hosted someone from germany and a lovely couple from Brazil and the US at our place

Interests

Rick:
I like all kinds of music e.g. jazz/reggae/rock/electronic/80's/90's. I love football,(soccer for the Americans) french fries with mayonnaise, baseball, conspiracy theories, stock trading, good cup of coffee and a glas of beer, from time to time I pick up my electric guitar and play some tunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides my wedding day (I don't want to sleep on my own couch you know) I would say biking down Blue Mountain in Jamaica between the coffee bean plants and waterfalls all around us was one of the finest moments I remember

Teach, Learn, Share
