Couch picture

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: Yes

I have two matrasses, blankets etc, and my computerroom to sleep in. My livingroom is also available, but less comfortable.

My town is Culemborg which is just south of Utrecht (14mins train). I live next to the trainstation, with all major cities in reach.
I can offer you a mattress, pillow and sheets and my computerroom to sleep in. Normally I work during officehours, but for evenings/weekends I'll be happy to show you around.

And: As I love live music, art, performances just ask me if you want to enjoy some cool stuff in The Netherlands and probably I can give you some advice - and maybe join you!

Let CS be what it should be - a community where humans spend time with eachother, not only for a free bed&breakfast -> put some effort in a personalized request!

Personal Description


Can anybody lend me some extra hours a day? Even half an hour would be appreciated ;). I just love so many things it gets difficult to find spare time for everything: travelling around the world (and planning and dreaming about it is maybe even nicer!), going to the gym for a refreshing work-out, meeting new people, writing poems, driving offroad-motorbike… it’s not even half of the things I like, but don’t want to bore you with a never-ending list :P.

Me in some keywords: creative, extroverted, easy in use, I love music/concerts/festivals, tasting foreign food, photography, art & musea, and always ready to experience nightlife.

It is for me an honour to meet/host you…let us turn the individual society and come together again!

Tim and his friend Jasper were great guests. It was like catching up with old friends, and it was such a nice way to relax as we went out to dinner and then had a coffee and sheesha on the rooftops in Jebel Amman. Very friendly and great fun. You're more than welcome to drop by when you come to Australia. Enjoy Chad!

After an adventurous weekend with Tim and his friend Jasper (surprisingly there are night life in Jerusalem, including Tunnel Parties!) no wonder I lost 3/6 of my senses… They are the best guests that one can ask for.
I had wonderful time with you, guys (though it feels too short, you'll have to come again!).

Tim and his friend Jasper stayed in my place in Tel Aviv for 1 night. It was a true pleasure, they are both very easy going, fun, interesting and trustworthy. Would host them again any time (that is, if they want to come back here after seeing the whole globe). Have a good rest of the trip and thanks again for the holland tips, will surely make good use of them next time I'm there.

I just left Brussels behind me, when I met Tim and stayed one night on his couch. Tim was the only thing on that day, which made me feel better. :) He was really kind and as we met only for one hour or so I'm really looking for meeting and talking with him some day again! A great host!

As we were let down by our initial host at the last moment when we were already in Utrecht, we had to find a couch urgently. Tim saved us and we spend a very nice evening with him. He's an exemplary host I would recommend to everybody, he's a °real° coucher!

Tim and I both put in a lot of effort to keep the Utrecht CS a lively scene. He is a regular at metings and we worked together on the CS Midsummernight weekeind meeting in Utrecht. He's also a great graphic designer it turns out, a talented guy that you get along with easy. Relaxed, intelligent and reliable, full of ideals and unafraid to go for it! Keep it up dude...

Like your pics as well ;-) We got to know each other better during the Berlin Beach Camp, and the trip to and from Berlin. He is very straightforward and fun to hang around with.

It was lots of fun to have Tim and his friend Remco around for a few days. Keeping in the best crazy-Dutchman tradition, they were very easygoing, up for everything, always smiling and great to hang out with. I only wish I was more over that cold and with more energy, because we just barely started to explore all the fun stuff in Zurich. But all that mean is that you need to come again soon ;-)

Timz has great ideas and thinks out of the box. Besides, some nice chill out talks about work and travel related topics in the Boterwaag, I had a valuable insight of how to follow what one really wants from this guy. He offered us a ride for Berlin too!! Can't wait to put some good tunes for everyone during our ride! Cheers for more good times!

Hopefully we will be able to host him some day and play some more games with him.

The first thing that pleasantly surprised me about Tim was his extremely personalized couchrequest message: he had read through all my profile and he had spent a few minutes tailoring his message for me. I am happy that I finally managed to host him, although for one night only (I wish it would have been longer). The other way Tim surprised me is his deep up-to-dateness (?) of italian news (from politics to economics) and his huge travel experience, which he shared a bit with me. I was very pleased to meet such a person, and if I ever go to Utrecht, his couch will be my first destination!

We had really nice chats, shared stories, ideas and opinions about all kinds of things and it felt like talking to an old friend. He's funny, very kind and doesn't give anything for granted, a very considerate guest. Definitely worth hosting/surfing. Thank you Tim, hope to meet you again.

Tim surfed with us in our CS home, and joined my housemates, friends and some other CSers for a night out on the town (even got interviewed for radio and our pics on the website ... new years resolution "to have more fun!"). He's intelligent, sociable and friendly and we all enjoyed his company in the short time we spent together before Dave and I left for Morocco. And I was stoked to get back from Morocco and find that there were some of those yummy Dutch biscuits left!!

Tim,(who is not from Smurfland), was good fun to host. He was up for Korean food and a language lesson.. and for being dragged on a loooong hike around a peninsula.. and for being dragged out for a sleepless night in town with my nutty friends (a torment I tend to give visiting couchy's). Basically, he's up for trying new things and was a really interesting person to spend time with.

Now, meeting Tim took forever. Originally he saw that we were going to the Netherlands and INVITED us to stay with him and to show us around! We decided to go, but we had to cancel on the last minute since we had very little time on our hands. Finally, Tim came to Iceland and we were going to host him, but he had already promised to stay elsewhere....finally, after series of sms's here in Iceland we managed to meet him on a local pub and drank a pint with him and had the most enjoyable time! Better late than never, he went back home 3 hours later. Stroke of luck! Even from what little we've seen of him he had already made an impression on us as a really accomodating and generous host, and when we finally did meet him he struck us as a generally very very nice guy! We definitely have to catch up later, TIMZ!

Tim suggested couch surfers should go to ROBODOCK festival in Amsterdam. I was interested so Tim and I took on this wonderland of scrap metal and mishmash. Twas the most amazing day of mind-warping magic, robotics, soundscape, fire, destruction and experimental art that really tinkered with the heart. Tim has an amazing brain. His love for music pumps through his veins. He is organised, pro-active and makes lots of time for enjoying life and taking part in music/art festivals and who knows what! A really fascinating guy.

We met during a CS meeting, Tim is a very open-minded, friendly, easy-going person. He was going for a trip to Normandie where I am from, and it was nice to see his enthusiasm about it.
It'll be a pleasure to meet again!!

I met him at cs meeting in Rotterdam, it was interesting talking to him; a friendly open minded person, so that I think I had to leave too early, but we always meet twice (as the saying goes) ...

Tim has the honour to be the first couch surfer EVER that I have met in real life. He's really cool, totally trustworthy and you will probably find him anywhere in the world -desert, beach, city or mountain- where there's a party. If I wasn't travelling so much myself, I'd be jealous. :)

Timmy is the type of guy you'd take anywhere! Good conversation, sharp, intelligent, fun, open-minded, friendly, curious.. but mostly fun! His hair is too short and he doesn't appreciate the maple leaf.. but I need to meet up with him again so we can go dancing, check out some shows and explore new places..

Although Tim had already booked a room, he would have been a prefect guest. From drinking coffee to drinking (a lot of) beer, from shaking hands to talking about openmindedness-life-and-love, from walking-while-talking to laughing-while-dancing, it was a perfect encounter. We'll meet again.
