Couch picture

Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 4

Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: Depends

Have 3 bed rooms, one for me :), and 2 for you. One has a reaalllly thick inflatable matrass that will take two and the other has a magic couch that turns in to a bed, which will also take to although it is not the widest bed ever. All rooms have their own door.

I live about 10 minutes out of Utrecht city center (by the dutch favorite means of transport: bike) or 3 by train, as I live next to one of the smaller stations. Its a very nice house with a garden, although I'm still trying to sort out the final things.
No pets of my own, although sometimes the neighbors cat comes for a short visit.
I'm sorry but I'm a strictly no smoking person! The city of Utrecht is a nice old town which is like Amsterdam without all the other tourists. There is always stuff to do as it is one of the main student towns of the country. And getting around is easy, most of the time I have a bike available and otherwise public transportation is great (if you don't make it too late) and you can always walk anyway. Unfortunately I do have to work, generally from 0800 to 1800. But there always a way things can be worked out, and weekends are free of course. It would be best to take your own sleeping bag, we can always work out something but the spare stuff I have is not the best at the moment.
The length of a possible stay can always be discussed but one or 2 days should always be ok.

Personal Description

Couch addicted dutch person with a wee bit of a Scottish accent, looking to get to know more people and spread the word. In real life I am a top chef/ motor racer/ scout/ traveler/ philosopher/ music lover. In the time that remains .. and a bit more, I busy myself as a business process consultant.

How I Participate in CS

I really got hooked I guess, since I started in 2007. At the moment I travel when and where I can. Being based in Warsaw limits my hosting activities, but everybody is moer than welcome (if you can find me on the site that is), and participate in local groups as much as I can, organising events of all sorts. And of course spead the word :)

CouchSurfing Experience

Visited several places over Europe, I especially love the events organized everywhere. When possible I take part in the Utrecht events, its a great team and its only just around the corner for me. Last weekend I even had 50 or so couchsurfers at my place for the midsummer night event, PERFECT!!

Event pages: http://picasaweb.google.com/jeroenek/MysteryMurderWarsaw?authkey=t1uDM8xdLoo#

Interests

I love experiencing freedom with the simple things in life. Just the fact that you don't know what the day will bring when you wake up. Have a good meal. Read a book. Sit and watch the sun move across the sky or experiencing the speed and power of a motor bike.

Philosophy

Just be that little bit different, or at least try really hard and enjoy the simple things in life.

Music, Movies, Books

Movies:
Everything is Illuminated.
Life as a sexually transmittable disease
and .. Not hollywood stuff

Books:
Fantasy
Philosophy
History

Music:
anything alternative, ska to metal to indie to drum and bass. As long as it has energy.

Types of People I enjoy

I enjoy people who enjoy life, if there is a story to tell I'm interested. Although I might be a bit shy in asking.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, Dutch of course. But most of all cooking!!, I can teach, learn and prepare.
Besides that there are computer skills, like building websites and such.

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Andorra, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Jeroen's energetic approach to life encouraged me to become more active in Warsaw community (and also generally in my life, but shhhhh that is a secret ;) and pushed me out my house to start doing things for the Varsovians ;D Thx a lot for being who you are and being true to yourself (even at times when I do not catch your jokes ;)!

Jeroen has been really helpful during my first days in Warsaw. He has the typical Dutch charceteristics like having crude humour, enjoying games and being direct and openminded. He combines that with a kind of non-Dutch 'open door policy' for his flat.
Great to hang out with!

I am so glad that Jeroen was able to make the trip up to my place in Coral Springs for dinner while he was in Florida. We had a very enjoyable evening talking with the other guests, as well as being interviewed by a TV news crew who was doing a story about CS. He brought some really fun card games that I was looking forward to playing, but we did not have enough time.

Jeroen was only able to surf with me for one night, however I found him to be very interesting, funny and intelligent. He was a great guest, neat, organized, and willing to pitch in wherever needed. I would be happy to have him surf with me again. Take care my friend!

Jeroen's easy going, a lot of fun to hang out with, all around good guy and actually not that easy to describe - you simply have to get to know him (and you definitely should).
tip: don't deny the offer of him making pancakes for you ;o)

Jeroen is very social and likes to share his experiences of living in Glasgow, I hope to continue the discussion in a not too distant future.

Awesome bloke who makes me remember all those great times I had in Glasgow, Scotland :) Definitely a cool guy to be around although he seems to enjoy coke(the soda) more than beer ^_^ Can't wait to meet up again!

I know Jeroen since secondary school, we traveled together to many places, and we hang out a lot in the Netherlands as well.
So, yeah, I guess he's quite alright :)

it's fun to have a nice trekking trip with him and Tim
it's so fun from the trekking, the photo session, the lunch (thanks for the bread),
it's also funny since when I first met him, I wasn't sure due to his yellow duck hat :-P though we smiled to one another
I hope to have another trekking trip or a cooking party somewhere..
note : my cooking skill is limited because of some reasons nevertheless I do love cooking !! let's try one day

Budapest, winter, snowfall. We met and spent some two hours together. Jeroen is just like Dutch people in general: VERY nice and smiling. I like his attitude to life. Very much looking forward to see him in Utrecht next year.

Jeroen was introduced to me and CS by Emre, and ever since he has been showing up at meetings. He is really funny, he always makes me laugh and feel good about myself. He always gets a hug from me when we meet.
