Couch or air-matress in my room.

I got a 22 m2 studentroom close to the centre of Eindhoven. It is just a 12 min walk to the main train/bus station. The main pub area in the centre is a 20 min walk away from my house. I got a small couch and an air mattress available for visitors. If you bring your own air mattresses then more people fit in. During the week I got to work but in the evenings and weekends I am normally free to show you around or have a drink together.

Personal Description

Traveling is addictive! In 2008 I have been backpacking for nine months and I traveled over land from Amsterdam to Singapore and explored Rusia, Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaisia, Singapore, Indonesia. The best part of the traveling was meeting so many interesting people on my way. Now trying to get used to being home again and dream of new travel plans...

If you want to know more about me, just ask :)

CouchSurfing Experience

Met a lot of nice couchsurfers while traveling and at the meetings back home. Also been a host for some couchsurfer and hope to keep meeting many more couch surfers.

Interests

Its meeting interesting people and the unexpected things during traveling that made the trip such a great time.

One of the best ways to explore a city is for me to get on a bicicle, ride away and get lost. Even better if I find someone to go with me to share the fun with :)

Philosophy

No place is really better then another, it is the people you meet that make it worth staying or going back to!

Nothing looks better then a smile on somebodys face :)

Life is fun, so enjoy it!

Music, Movies, Books

Music: RedHotChiliPeppers, Goldplay, Leaf, Oasis, The Offspring, Three Doors Down, etc and offcourse live bands

Types of People I enjoy

Open minded, happy, fun, interesting, relaxed, and so much more things I appreciate in people so I like to meet a lot of different kind of persons.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mechanical engineering is my profession so I might be able to teach you some technical stuff or I can give you some practical information about backpacking through Russia, China, Asia.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Backpacking trough Asia for nine months
Static Line Parachute Jumping (8x)

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Great way of meeting interesting people!

Hey Ronald!
I visited Eindhoven briefly and stayed with Ronald for two nights-he cooked us delicious meals both nights! He also took me on a little bike tour downtown to the longest bar street in europe. Ronald is a great guy and very easy to hang out with. I'll definitely look him up next time I visit Eindhoven!
cheers, pete

I have to edit this reference, coz I wrote it too briefly!

Ronald and I drank a heap of booze, talked crap for hours, and had a great night, despite the lousy weather. He is a model couchsurfer, so don't hesitate to meet up with him! He cooked some decent dinner, but that was nothing compared to watching his housemate each an enormous bowl of pasta (250gm + sauce!!!). Classy stuff!

Cheers Ronald, and my compliments on your taste in beer!

He likes to cook and is very active in organizing events in Eindhoven (mostly combining the cooking and meeting part). Ronald shares good travel stories. I'm sure gone meet you again!

I met Ronald (and his guests) when we were going to the STRP festival together. We had dinner together at my host Philippe's and the next day he hosted us for a really "gezellig" dinner at his place. He's friendly, easygoing, undertaking and down-to-earth. I think he'd be a nice guest and surfing his couch would probably make a nice Dutch experience in a non-touristy city.

I was at his place only for one night (had a flight the following morning) but I hope I had a chance to meet Ronald better, he seems to be a very nice guy and has many interesting stories to tell from his travels.

Ron is a chill guy with tons of Eindhoven hospitality. Getting to know his travel experience was super exciting. We went to hangout on my last night of stay in Eindhoven. Trying Dutch cuisine was super fun. We also indulged on various Dutch and Belgium beer. The best part of the night was the live concert, the locals offer such a strong energy it was refreshing. Thanks to Ron I could call my trip to Eindhoven truly a blast. Look forward of my return.
