Couch Information

There are seperate beds available. We have a special room for couchsurfers, it is a nice room with a view on the town canal and the old buildings that are next to it.

I just moved to my new crib in Dordrecht, a nice city next to Rotterdam. I live just 5 minutes from the central station in the main street of Dordrecht, besides of that it is the longest shopping street in the Netherlands. The closes restaurants and bars are within 1 minute of walking distance and I live in the historical centre of Dordrecht so basically I never want to leave this place. I live there together with my best friends, 2 couchsurfers as well.

As you can see life has been good to us so far :)
Even if I am busy there will always be 2 other awesome people around to help you out.
We have a big couch and a special room for couchsurfers so our capacity is pretty big. We have matrasses available and inflatable beds too. Blankets and pillows are available as well but that depends on the amount of people that you expect to come over with of course.
Dordrecht is a real nice city to visit, with a lot of beautiful places. It has been a very important city in the Dutch history, you'll see it when you visit it. I can show you around if you want of course!
If you want to surf my couch, just send a mail or give a call and i'll pick you up!
From Dordrecht trainstation you'll be in the centre of Rotterdam in 11 minutes by train.
SPECIAL SERVICE: In our house you can enjoy yourself with approximately 300 dvd's and there is a nintendo wii available too if you are tired of sightseeing:)
Smoking is not a problem, using soft drugs neither as long as you know your limits of course.

Personal Description

Remco a.k.a. Remus:

-Born in The Netherlands in 1986 in a small and boring village called Bleskensgraaf.

-Studying applied sociology on globalisation and diversity in Amsterdam

-Graduated social worker

-Working with mentally disabled people in Rotterdam and Sliedrecht

-Supporting Feyenoord Rotterdam and FC Dordrecht

-Frequently visiting (irish) pubs and concerts

-Involved in the dutch socialist party

-Inspired by christianity, buddhism, socialism and Socrates

-Has the worst sense of humor ever

-Doesn't take himself too seriously

-Loves to hear stories from fellow travellers

-Is still trying to make a difference

-Likes to bring the mosh and just go crazy

-Would like to meet as many nice couchsurfers as possible

-Wants to place Dordrecht on the couchsurfing map

-Is tired of filling in this "all about you" box

How I Participate in CS

I participate by helping out the people, who are visiting the Netherlands, as good as possible. There is always a couch available :) Besides this I try to attend the local couch surf meetings and I try to promote and support CS2 as well as possible. Currently I'm also trying to promote the entire project in Dordrecht, getting people more involved and organising meetings. My current goal is to promote Dordrecht as the oldest and nicest city of Holland

CouchSurfing Experience

Meeting people from Iran, Canada, Finland and India during the meetings in Rotterdam is totally awesome! I love to hear people telling about their country and culture, can't get enough of it! I surfed some couches and hosted some surfers and I enjoyed it from the beginning untill the end! This project really is an added value to my life!

Interests

Travelling, visiting concerts and festivals, playing volleybal, soccer and squash, watching nice movies, couchsurfing, urban exploring and ofcourse hanging out with nice people, watching family guy, how i met your mother, showing people around in Dordrecht, history, politics, visiting sport events and running

Philosophy

-Work like you don't need the money
dance like no one is watching
sing like no one is listening
love like you've never been hurt (Irish saying)

-Growing up in an age where monotony reigns...it's so easy to keep your heart and mind locked away. And it's up to you to rise up...to break away (Modern life is war)

-Be patient and you will finally win, for a soft tongue can break hard bones. (Proverbs 28:13)

-He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. (Socrates)

-Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live. (Socrates)

-As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser. (Plato)

-In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. (Dalai Lama)

-A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. (Gandhi)

-I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
(Nelson Mandela)

-My warrior woman. My Valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. There's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will. (Dwight from Sin City)

Music, Movies, Books

Movies:
Jackie Brown, Babel, Sin city, 300, Requiem for a dream, 21 gramms, Lock stock & two smoking barrels, Snatch, The green mile, V for vendetta, Dude where's my car, The painist, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, The constantine gardener, Face/off, Magnolia, Paradise now, Fight club, Donnie brasco, American history x, The butterfly effect, Boondock saints, Freeze frame, Memento, Bowling for columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, La vita e bella, The jacket, The big lebowski, Walk the line, Shawshank redemption,Hotel rwanda,A beautiful mind, American beauty, Trainspotting and so many more......

Music:
All kinds of music actually. I usually listen to post-hardcore/metalcore (noisy music). But I love "pubmusic" aswell or good old Frank Sinatra. My favourite artist though is without any doubt Johnny Cash. Try to collect as much of his old records as possible, so I guess that basically all music that is filled with emotion can be found in my collection.

Types of People I enjoy

I enjoy people who are so kind to please me by visiting dordrecht and my place :)I don't really know people that I don't enjoy being with. Perhaps racists or something like that, but I don't expect them to be on CS2 :)It really doesn't matter where you come from, what age you are, what music you like to listen to etc. I'm sure we'll have a good time. I enjoy it if you show interest in the city where I live and the life that I am living. Likewise I am curious about your stories on your life and your town too ofcourse.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ofcourse i'd be glad to help you learning your first words in Dutch. If you need some explanation for the dutch public transport system, the political situation, the dutch history, the weird habits we have, and so on, feel free to ask and I'd be happy to tell you about it. I'm interested in politics, filosophy, religion, movies, music and you ofcourse :-)

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Volunteering in a buddhist monastry. I've worked there with Hiv/aids infected people who were in a terminal phase. My mission was to help them in their dayly routine,to cheer them up and to talk about things that kept them busy

Remco and his friends hosted us for 2 nights. Unfortunately he was sick, but he did his best for us, picking us at the station and giving us all the information about his nice city.
Their house is very nice, and their toilette made me laughing a lot :))! Remco and his friend too! They are crazy, friendly and easy-going, we enjoyed ourselves with them.
Hey guys, you are welcome in our place when you want!
Thanks for everything!

I've met Remco at the 2nd official CS Bar meeting in Dordrecht he organised. Although I was the "stranger" in of a small group of people who knew eachother a much longer I felt very welcome. Which supposed to be a short visit for me ended up in a long night full of fun. We shared some good stories & Remco had plenty of ideas about future Dordrecht CS events! I will for sure join him!

Remco came to Eindhoven with 4 Italian girls that surfed my couch. He decided not to take the train back and sleep in Eindhoven as well, because on reflection having a beer sounded a bit better than riding the train :) Very friendly guy!

The laughter of the 'mucky couchsurfers' (as my housemate Marijke called Remco & his friends) was a nice counterbalance to all the accidents happening during those couple of days. No matter what happened, there was always room for NL vs. BE jokes, La Vita è Bella or chats over a Snakebite. Remco was on many subjects like-minded, a nice surprise as I don't meet people every day who think the same way about Buddhism and vegetarianism.

PS: you forgot your book, insurance papers & sunglasses at my place!

Imagine there would be a warm evening with thousands of stars in the sky. Every few minutes a star is falling and you can make a wish.
Imagine that on that wonderful evening, you are not alone, but surrounded by friends.
Imagine you are laughing together with these friends while drinking beer/wine until late that night.
Sounds perfect, no?
Thanks for sharing these wonderful moments with us.

I had the BEST time with Remco. All the calls to the coffeshop guy, a lot of new ideas to make money. Lots of family guy. And as we all know, I am the BEST cs-er ever, I took care of his plants and cleaned the place up(once). But I really think that Remco is the coolest, and I will 100% visit him at his new place!

me and my friend stayed at Remcos place for the whole week. we had all the fun in the world and lots of awesome things happened. even tho we didn't go out much, just stayed at home smoking and drinking and watching mostly family guy and the dead pigeon. (:
also, Remco has the coolest sence of humour and I think it is impossible to feel bored while he is around. most probably that is why all those awkward and funny things happened to us.
Remco is awesome.

i spent two days with Remco, Jaap and Emilie. Inbetween drinking lots of beer and little sleep, i kicked it hard with these people. We visited the whindmills and ate fries with mayo.... and partied hard, real hard in the irish pub. Took the last train back at like 4am. Had breakfast of chocolate spread, chicken pesto spread and lots of black coffee. Good times with Remco, he is the shit. So is Emilie, she is the bomb.

My surf experience (after my host) :

My wish was exhausser, I went in Dordercht. It confirms the feeling developed during our last meeting, we're friends.

Thank you for having spent much time with me to discover your place.
Thank you for introducing me to find vegetarian food, I really enjoyed it. I loved the time together to play Jenga, especially wages.I hope to see you at my birthday.

My host experience

Remco ??? I like ! He is the first prostitute of neederlands !NOT!
He is a person who has a lot of humor, very pleasant and very respectful. I hope come in his home one day. I would also like to see a sheep'hat (I do not know if it is written like that). I spent very good time with him and his friends. In fact I miss they already. As he told me : you have a friend in neederland, i tell him you have a friend and a place in Paris.

When our Amsterdam couch fell through, Jaap & Remco generously agreed to have us come earlier than we'd planned. They were wonderful and gracious hosts, full of fun, & despite our age differences we found many interests in common to talk about. More "souls of hospitality" & just the way CS should be.

But anyway, we had a great time there as both guys are very easy-going and fun to be with, also very helpful. And they introduced me to snakebite which I'm more or less in love with nowadays;) Thanks!

Remus is a wonderful person, could not be better, very friendly, good heart, helpful, funny and very open to know any people, everybody should visit him...
I asked on the dordrecht group someone to take me to a party or to drink a beer, and he answered very soon, asking what I need, offering a couch, etc, really an CS "Ambassor"... so I join him and his friends to many partiers in Rotterdam, a fantastic night, and also used his "couch"!
Thanks a lot Remus hope some day to have the honour to be your host in Rio!

Remco is a great host. Definitely the number one choice in Dordrecht imho. When I was at his place he was just moving in but despite the boxes and stuff everywhere it was obvious that Remco is a mature kid who knows how to see to the best of his guests and show them a good time. Join the Scandi-navy and sail to Sweden!

I surfed Remcos couch for two days and it was a lot of fun. He and his flatmates were very hospitable and took us out for some pool and beers. He is fun and easygoing and I am sure you will have a good time at his place.

Isn't there a more positive option than "extremely positive"? Pity, I'd like to use it. There are Superman and Batman, but this guy is an even bigger hero. If you like your bad jokes, the worst kind of humor and laugh till you drop.....look no further. He's loving, caring and very trusting. I learned a lot from him the last years. There isn't anything you can't talk to him about, very open-minded. He has an answer to anything. We go way back, so believe me ;-) Meet him!

If you're looking for a completely crazy and funny, enthusiastic and moshpit-proofed, happy-sing-along-song Dutch guy who is eager to present Dordrecht as the most lovely place in Holland you're definetly at the right adress at Remco. But besides that he's also a very lovely and caring person. (: Rock'n'Roooooolll!!

A funny guy, always in a good mood, with market earrings and lots of stories, that's Remus. I met him first as Jaaps best friend, now he is also my friend. A guy to laugh with, to hang out, to have a good time.

Remco aka Stanley is a great person. His surprising views on life and people are impressing. And he wouldn't be my friend if he wasn't trustable, friendly, crazy and humouristic. I love the way he shares the worsed humour in the world with me.

I had a great time in Dordrecht and Rotterdam with Remus and his friends. They are all excellent people, with a great sense of humour and hospitality (thanks again for the pizza mates!). Remus is also an open-minded person, showing interest in many different things.

I met this guy several times now, small talks every time, so getting to know each other goes slowly, but that's what you get when 20+ people keep showing up at the weekly meetings. To me he is an open and interesting guy and I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun with him at future events and meetings. We also like the same football team, so can we not be friends?
