I really hope we can end up seeing each other after I travelled around as The Graphic Nomad and complete my project.<\/p>\n<p>To see my profile, click <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/people\/thegraphicnomad\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/people\/thegraphicnomad\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-81\" alt=\"Couchsurfing\" src=\"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Couchsurfing_logo-300x128.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Couchsurfing_logo-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Couchsurfing_logo-1024x437.png 1024w, https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Couchsurfing_logo.png 1566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A project isn&#8217;t just perfect if you don&#8217;t have a back-up plan. &nbsp; In case I could not stay with the people who I&#8217;m going to work with, I need a backup plan.

Dan kan ik rekenen op de duizenden mensen op CouchSurfing.com.\nMaar... ik ken dat project niet zo goed, dus ik moest wat informatie verzamelen. Daarvoor regelde ik enkele infomomenten via CouchSurfing.com.\nVorige week ontmoette ik enkele mensen die me veel wilden vertellen: wat je wel en niet doet op CouchSurfing, hoe je tijd wint bij het zoeken naar een bank terwijl je druk aan het werk bent, hoe de CouchSurfing-gemeenschap werkt, enzovoort.\n\nDus Patrick, Elise en Ben, heel erg bedankt voor de informatie die jullie me gaven! Ik hoop echt dat we elkaar weerzien wanneer ik als The Graphic Nomad heb rondgereisd en mijn project heb afgerond.\n\nMijn profiel zie je <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/people\/thegraphicnomad\" target=\"_blank\">hier<\/a>","seo_titel":"","seo_titel_nl":"","omschrijving":"","omschrijving_nl":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":479,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions\/479"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
