About Me

Easy going guy, who loves to meet people and hear their stories.

My most notable hobby is long distance cycling, which I picked up the summer of 2018. I cycled the Dutch part of the North Sea Route which was a memorable experience. I will certainly cycle the Belgian and French part of the route as soon I'm able to.

At the moment I'm studying Watermangement in Middelburg. This is an international education which gave me the opportunity to meet people from different countries. I'm not from Vlissingen itself so I moved there in the summer of 2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is a good way to meet new people, hear their stories and do things I normally wouldn't do. The site itself is also very useful for staying the night somewhere which I intend to do. For now, I'm offering a place to stay the night.

Practical note: I only have one room so you will need to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far is cycling the North Sea Route on my own. I started in Sluis, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and cycled north to Den Helder. I fully intend to do this again once I got the time and money.
