Amateur globetrotter, aspiring novelist & apprentice artist. (And alliteration enthusiast.)

Visually just your average young adult Dutch guy; blond and blue eyed (though not as tall).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up I moved from country to country quite a bit, until my parents decided to settle down where they first met; Rotterdam. Being subjected to constant traveling forced me to make new friends everywhere, which invoked an immense interest in other cultures in me.

Through Couchsurfing I hope to meet interesting new people, that can teach and tell me cool stuff about what they do and where they're from.

Interests

Traveling, literature, art (as previously mentioned), music, board sports, cartridge video games, short sleeved buttoned shirts with ridiculous prints.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the notorious Dutch card game called game called Toepen.

You can learn from me how to play Wonderwall on guitar (though you won't, because it sucks).

I can share my approximate knowledge of how to cook Italian food. It's not half bad if I may say so myself.
