Description

I'm Niels, born and raised in Groningen and always loved to travel. From March '26 till September/October, I'm doing a 6 months solo trip with my car and tent, while hopefully meeting lovely people on the way! Usually at home I like to do jobs around the house. Until March I worked as a geo-information specialist, and was an athletics (sprint) coach twice a week. I like running, hiking, swimming and supping/paddleboarding!!
