Hey there!
I'm a student from the Netherlands who is currently enjoying his gap year.
I'm passionate about so many different things it's difficult to choose what to include here, but I'll give it a try :)

I absolutely love spending time in nature! Not only hiking but also taking pictures of plants and animals or making a campfire in the woods with some friends.
Aside from that, I'm into a lot of different sports like the gym, snowboarding, surfing, and running. One crazy thing I like to do is to go for a run when a huge storm is going on. Things like this make me feel alive :D

Recently I went backpacking in Thailand for a month, which was my first solo trip ever. At first, the idea of traveling alone scared me but this trip opened my eyes! I saw so many beautiful things and I connected with so many wonderful people. This trip showed me how amazing traveling can be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet cool people from all over the world :D
Looking forward to connecting with locals to learn about their country and culture, but also to have a good time with them!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you some Dutch!
I can also (somewhat) teach you how to meditate, surf, snowboard, program, take pictures, and work out at the gym.

Aside from that, I can fix problems with your PC, and tell you crazy neuroscience facts.
Also, I'd love to exchange some stories of our travels!
