Hi I'm Ron, I live and work in Amsterdam (have been here for six years). In daily live I'm a creative lead at a digital innovation agency. I really enjoy my job, but there's one thing I love more: getting out there - exploring the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying something new really. I love traveling and the main thing what makes traveling so great is encountering different cultures and meeting new people - so why not embrace that part of traveling into my own house:)

Interests

Anything can raise my interest and curiosity, but in general I love traveling and wandering about in general, I like writing (although I definitely need to do more of it). I also play football with friends on Sundays and try to go snowboarding each winter. Oh and I like cycling long distances during summer, but only when the sun's out.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wide wide variety of music - from 60s hippie and rock tunes, to Rihanna, to classical. Not really a fan of hardcore techno or Nickelback weirdly enough; all that dude does is scream like he's in immense agony.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Set up my own rum brand - the world needs more rum.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you Amsterdam, tell you a thing or two about Dutch culture and in case you're interested I give you a crash course on the slightly bonkers world of advertising.
