Couch picture

Couch Available: Definitely!
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 5

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: Yes

I have two matresses, a long couch, a short couch and some bed-under thingy that can serve as a sleeping place. All of them in the same room.

However, the natural curve of my room makes that there is some semi-privacy

FAQ about my Couch (You may want to read this)

Q:What do you need to be my CouchSurfer?

A:1.Nothing*

* This is in fact a lie. You need a CouchSurfing account with some information about you and if possible one or more pictures

Q:Why did you lie back there?

A:Because, well, it's sort of true, you don't need to be any sort of age-group, gender, ethincity or anything else. You don't need to be interesting, you don't need to be interested in me. You don't need... wait, ok, you need clothes... I'm not sure I could get all 5 housemates to agree with the idea of nudists staying here. So you need at least that to get through my house. But that's it! I promise!

Q:What's that bit about being interesting or interested, isn't CouchSurfing all about cultural exchange?

A:Yes! No! Yes!
That is to say, I think the general concensus is, it is. And I agree with that. CouchSurfing is about cultural exchange in the same way that cooking is about food.

Q:What?!

A:Okay, see here it is. Cooking is about food, but er.. it's also about eating and... well That's a bad analogy but you see er...

Q:Would you bloody well GET ON WITH IT?

A:Yes, ok so here's the deal, friend. At my place, you are not a guest. You are at home.

Q:Does that mean I get to prance around naked?

A:Now, we've already dealt with nudist issues. What I'm saying is: you don't owe me anything. Most CouchSurfers feel that they have an obligation to their hosts to share with them wonderful stories and all that mumbojumbo.

Q:But what if I'm BORING?!

A:Would you stop interupting me? This is exactly the point I'm trying to make. Maybe you're boring. Maybe you're just stopping here for one night on the way to Beijing and you have to get up in the morning to catch the next train/bus/hitchhike/spaceshuttle/interdimensional doorway, and the last thing you can be bothered with is telling some earthling all about the time Zoth overthrew your ancestors' Martian empire, nor do you want to hear is his trite little stories about when the local windmill was built. Maybe you just fail at making conversation with people who aren't roundbreasted young women or tall bronzed men, rippling with muscles.
Does this mean you should be denied a place to sleep?

Q:Well, Does it?

A:Absolutely not.

Q:But what if I do want to tell you my super awesome stories and am doing this because I'm wanting to make friends for life?

A:Then if you're staying long enough, and you don't come when I have a lot of work to do (ha, me, work?) then there's a good chance at that aswell. But the thing of it is, it's not mandatory.

Q:What if I didn't feel like reading all of that and I skipped straight to this?

A:If you suffered a good old case of tl;dr (too long;didn't read) here it is in a nutshell.

If you stay here, you don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything, any exchanges, cultural or otherwise are completely optional, from both sides.

Q:Do you know this isn't actually an FAQ unless these Q uestions were A sked F requently?

A:I asked myself them, and I determine what passes for "frequent" so there, now, go write up your CouchSurf requests, you smartass.

If you are looking for a couch for any of these dates, please find another host, as I will not be able to host you:

I really liked Tommy, he's always thinking outside the box; he constantly entertains others singing and joking.
He's the master of words (he will be a famous writer / scenarist some day). He is diplomatic and has fine manners but occasionally he's tempted to climb trees.
I admire so much his dedication to the CouchSurfing project. A tip: if you give him few beers he turns into a Dance God ;). Thank you for the kayak trip and see you soon!

Tommy is a host, who is extremely devoted to couch surfing. You can count on him anytime and be sure that he will be there for you to show you around the city. What is more, if there is any problem, he will help you solve it. Tommy, thank you for what you are doing for all of us!

I met him at a weekly meeting in Rotterdam and was extremely surprised to meet a Norwegian speaking cs member there(!) WOW!! Not even from Norway! That is impressive!!! We just spoke a little while, but for sure had some great conversations and if I ever go to the Netherlands again, I will stop by his city:) If up in Norway sometime, you have a guest house waiting for you:) Surely I could teach you some more accents in Norwegian(or danish too) and in my house you will also be hearing a lot of english and portuguese:P We are quite an international team living up here!

After hosting Tommy I know he is a kid with many talents. To mention a few:

1. He is one great norwegian (okay, not really, ut he could go for a norwegian if he wanted to).

2. He is talentet in watersliding on home made waterslides.

3. He is great fun to party with

4. He has a really crazy sense of humour (but really funny)

5. He is a great couchsurfer, good story teller and great company.

Thank you for staying at my place, it was a lot of fun hosting you Tommy. But don't expect a party of the same size next time you come to Denmark :D

There is a really good reason that Tommy has 14 vouches and more than 100 references all positive -
He is a great person and a fine guest.

Unfortunately I only got the chance to host him for one night, but he seems like one of those people who you wouldn't mind stayed for a longer period of time.

Well, Tommy is really crazy, that’s true

And I think if you come to Holland you should stay at his place or just get to know him. May be they have to include Tommy into guide books!
He is so nice, kind, he always try to make you smile. He always finds what to tell you even if you are stupid Russian girl.

Tommy is a wannabe-norwegian that host vegetarian vs. anti-vegetarian fights between couchsurfers. And ant-vegetariqns usually win because we have more energy. In fact we even clean up random dutch flats. And Tommy? Yea he's cool 'n stuff. But his computer-keyboard is disastrous, so you might want to bring your own. Hadet paa badet din ol' chocolate!

Tommy is crazy! He showed me and my girlfriend an absolutely outstanding hospitality, sharing is tiny place with far more people than anyone else would have been able to fit in... when he's around, you always feel like cherishing being a CouchSurfer. I had a great time with him and the other travellers, hopefully I will be able to return his hospitality soon, in Iceland or elsewhere.

Tommy! When he is sober he's like the crazyfunny drunk version of my friend Mikael, and when he's drunk.. oh my, I don't want to know. In other words, Tommy is the prefect American fake Norwegian Dutch fool. I wish I had a stash of those pills he must be on for days that feel particularly grey, that's how much I advise you to meet this well-mannered madman.

About Tommy? Well... I guess a lot in a small period of time: we met on a language exchange community and later in Paris, we hitchhiked together and he hosted me for a couple of nights during Midsummernight. And not forgetting the weird truck ride, the parties and the looong trips on the night trains...
Definitely not bad for my first hitchhiking and CS experience!

Tommy is a great, funny, crazy guy. Even sweet, sometimes. :P If you are partying with him, for sure it will be fun.

We've spent a great weekend together. But, caraca, I must warn something about him: he is a teaser, especially if you are a brazilian.

Tommy, the Szwaffel-König (i just made it to the rank of an adjuntant), the hand-free cyclist, the booze-with-a-straw-stealing-fetishist.In actual fact he is french with a fake moustache and an experienced guitar player.It is just really just plain old fucking fun to had him in my place - no joke is moronic or absurd enough to be not told, did hardly not laugh that much recently...think Asia, me and Tommy have been a great team...foam wigs for everybody!

first met him in berlin beach camp and fell in love with his tie, then hosted him a night in paris to hitchike the day after that to netherlands where he hosted me.. Couldn't steal his tie and forgot my harry potter in latin at his, but still it was worth it, just for the buffoon role in utrecht I guess.. or for the beer in crazy cow.. or for all the fun we had trying to hitchike from paris... or just because he's this great guy, which you can tell just by looking at his tie of course..

If you haven't met Tommy yet, you should change it immediately. He's fun, bold, but also sensitive. You can count on him both if you want entertainment and if you need serious talk about meaning of life and support in times of tribulation [I had to use dictionary a lot to write about you ;)].
P.S. Tommy, you have one imperfection - you should definitively buy nowe buty! ;)

Oh Tommy, what a character! This boy has a talent for picking up accents and languages that is enviable. He is fantastic fun and brings life, fun and smiles to all meetings. Don't take him too seriously and play along with his games and you'll be guaranteed to have fun. Tommy is lively and has a lot of energy and I can only assume he'd be a hilarious host who could entertain you with all of his stories (even if they aren't true).

Tommy is sooooooo crazy but also very very sweet! He showed us Leiden, took us to a very nice WOK place, a really cool bar and hosted us at his place. We just have to laugh around him. He is always happy and energetic, the good attitude spreads all over the group. I also loved how he could do all the accents, really an awesome guy.

On his absolutely crazy bicycle trip from Leiden to Antwerp at temperatures of 10 degrees below zero, Tommy asked me for a couch. He arrived with almost frozen feet. How can I describe Tommy? Tommy is a very talkative, humorous and friendly person with a lot of couchsurf experience. He told me a lot about his couchsurf adventures.
I showed him Roosendaal by night and we visited my favorite pub “de Heksenketel” and enjoyed the live music.
Tommy continued his bicycle trip the next morning when the temperature in Roosendaal was 14 degrees below zero.
Thank you Tommy for the good time.

Tommy gave me a last minute place to stay while I was going to be in the Netherlands. Really a nice guy with skills in making tosties(?) and tea, but only if you like earl grey, haha. It was really cold outside, so we just talked for a while, and then played fold-it. If you are a molecular biologist, this game is still really tough. I would recommend this person to anyone, and dont be afraid to bring something from your home country.

Tommy is an unique person, with a whole pile of masks (or characters) that he likes to hides behind. He is quite an acquired taste - being loud, vocal, funny, obnoxious (he knows this! so I'm not offending him!) entertaining, extremely expressive and once you get past the layers, he will grow on you! Just give it plenty of time and patience!!!

One of his biggest goals is: "Ich möchte eine Welt in der ich aus der Toilette trinken kann ohne Ausschlag zu kriegen". So he also cares for the environment. :D

And he eats Dutch poison and has Dutch stairs! He's pretty much

He's like a Great Danish dog... lot's of bark, no bite, clears the table wih his tail and worst case scenario: he'll lick you to death.
Definitely worth hanging out with...

Although he doesn't drink, he is quite funny. He says he doesn't drink because he has to take care of his brain, but in reality this is because he is a Russian spy. He pretends to be Dutch and tries to confuse the enemy with his Norwegian smile, but I know his real name is Boris.
