Hey my name is Stan, 20 years old and studying nature (literally). I love to explore nature and people alike, and would love to make a lot of friends along the way. Wherever I go, my goal is to spread hapiness and be happy. You know, hippie stuff. I am very chill, flexible and open to a lot of new/random things. Every "yes" can be the next crazy adventure. Hopefully see you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore different kinds of nature and cultures, hoping to make friends along the way

Aurora is a beautifull singer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Multiple day hike through Gunung Leusir, a national park in Indonesia with wild Urangutans. I have seen so many different species there, it was beautifull. There was even a male urangutan that was so big it could barely climb the trees

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Dutch, English, a lot about nature, acoustic guitar

I want to learn more about: new instruments, nature, different cultures, geopolitics and a lot of other things
