I'm a seasoned traveller. Loves to chat about exploring this planet and its beautiful people on it. Well organized and social. Respectful to property and privacy.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel by the 'Marley doctrine': 'Every little thing is gonna be alright'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While traveling I've encountered great hospitality. Now I return the favour by hosting you and showing beautiful Amsterdam.

I host preferably grown up people who are not only here for the red light district.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted a lot in Amsterdam. Surfed in Vietnam, Hungary, Philipinnes and Argentina. Beautiful journeys, beautiful people!
Couchsurfing is not just a free place to sleep. It's intercultural exchange and having a great time together regardles borders. A brotherhood of mankind. :)

Interests

Playing guitar, getting to know strangers, having a social drink in the weekend, hanging out in the park, guiding city tours in Amsterdam, going to (rock)concerts, checking out local bands, connecting dots, putting up interesting conversations with a good wine/beer ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Memento, Amores Perros, Central do Brazil, Eternal Sunshine on a Spotless Mind, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, City of Ghosts, Indiana Jones, The Truman show.
Music: Fan of the old school Prince, a bit stuck in the '90's rockbands, currently much into gloomy songwriters :).
Books: Easy thrillers, Lonely Planets, Footprints, Roughguides, non-fiction regarding Amsterdam :-).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Showered under rainforest waterfalls, sleaped in desert nomad tents, had a real cold shower after a real cold night in the mountains, got terribly lost in medieval labyrinths, had a SCUBA-dive encounter with a whitetip reefshark among other boring stuff blahdyblahdyblah ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm available for private walking tours and occasionaly group tours in Amsterdam. Giving the phenomenon 'off the beaten track' a new dimention.
I can teach you the basics on guitarplaying, from the edge of your couch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time, a good couch (in fact it's a real bed. Sorry about this), happy company.
