Dude from the Netherlands, just stopped teaching and living in Fairbanks, Alaska and currently travelling ... to wherever life takes me.

In for an adventure ANY TIME!
Entertaining to hang out with, open, sociable, and loving good conversations!

I read every profile through and through before I send a couch surf request, this includes the My home, and reference section, and then decide whether I think we might be a good fit, having something in common and have a good time. I've closed profiles with 'maximum number of guests: 5' because I didn't think we would be a good fit despite it giving me a high chance of having a place to stay. Every CS-host is awesome as they are opening their place to connect with others and giving them a place to stay, but not everyone is a fit for me, and neither am I a good fit for everyone. In that case it is much better to give other people the opportunity to meet each other who will have a great time together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To add to the great community of people by hosting (whenever I have a place), and to experience the world in new and unexpected ways with the help of hosts when I'm travelling.

A place is only as good as the people one meets!
(no clue if there is a quote like this, but this is my experience)
I Love meeting new and interesting people, whether via couch surfing, hitch hiking or somewhere else. Meeting people, hearing their stories, experiences and perspectives is every single time an enriching experience.

Communication and interaction is key =D

Interests

Travelling (duh..)
Music
Cultures

Philosophy
Inline skating/ rollerblading

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with public speaking skills, teach English, Dutch. I love to cook, and probably have some creative recipes, including vegetarian recipes even though not being a vegetarian myself.
I'm also a walking library of odd fun and sometimes useful facts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great time, calm or with a bang... I can do both! My travel stories, and adventures.
