About Me

I'm a freelance musician and musicteacher. As a teacher I mostly work in Utrecht and as a musician I tour throughout the country and abroad.
I live on the brink of a beautiful little city called Utrecht, we have a lot of bikes and if you cycle for 15 minutes you're either in the fields or in the actual city.
In my spare time I love to take the bike to the city and experience cool concerts, good food and craft beer. I also love to run along the canal in front of my house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a lot of lovely people on my travels and tours who are willing to offer a couch or a bed for a night or two. It's a very cool way of meeting new people and experiencing a city. Especially when traveling alone.
Also, I love it when friends come over, stay for the night and that I can make it comfortable for them. So, why not host travellers?
