About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, I am Gersom, 28 years old. I would describe myself as outgoing, curious to meet new people and cultures at the one hand and contemplative while enjoying nature or reading a good book at the other hand.

I recently moved to the city of Gouda.

Music, Movies, and Books

I get along with lots of different music, for example road trip music, classics from the 60s, 70s, whatever.
I like movies that teach something in particular, philosophical movies, historical movies, but also classics like the Gotfather, Lord of the Rings.
Love to read literature, Dutch, English, German, Russian, travel guides, and academic literature about sustainable development, historic books etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many things. Looking forward to exchange with you!

Teach, Learn, Share

My way of life and myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The best thing to share is probably, yourself, your time; happiness, jokes, interests. I am outgoing and always in for a good discussion.
