Hello! My name is Harm Jelle (but everyone calls me Harm). I am 27 years old and grew up among the cows in the small Dutch village of Tzum.

I currently still live in Zwolle, but I plan to move to Amsterdam because that is where my work is located. I work there as an audience engangement editor at NU.nl, one of the largest news websites in the Netherlands.

In my spare time I like to engage in sports. I often watch football, but I am regularly on the football field or in the gym. I also enjoy having a beer with friends and I really enjoy games. If you are looking for someone to form a pub quiz team, you should call me first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up on a farm. That means we almost never went on holiday. That's why I had to think about going abroad and going on holiday myself.

I have already seen some beautiful places and soon I want to make my first solo trip. With the help of this community, I hope my future trips will be unforgettable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best things I've ever learned:

Love yourself.
