Hi! I'm Dyon, a curious, open-minded and easy-going traveller looking for new connections :)
I've been travelling through the Middle East and India for about half a year now, and just discovered this platform.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find a lot of satisfaction in getting to understand a country and its culture better, through good conversations and interaction with the people who live there. It gives a much better idea than the internet or the media!

Besides that, my trip through the Middle East and India has taught me the value of hospitality and I'd love to give it back to the community when I come home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you learn Dutch, English or German if you'd like. I've helped some of my friends learn Dutch, and they always enjoyed it ^^

Also, I'm more than curious to learn some Arabic slang ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, I'm *respectful* to you as my host. Your house means your rules.

Other than that, I'm always happy to help with cooking and other household chores :)
(Indian-style dishes are my favourite, but could make you Dutch- or French-style dishes too!)

Also, if you have an academic background, perhaps my connections can be useful for you. We can discuss :)
