Going to Europe in Feb! Got a couch?

Hello Modified!
It's been a little while since I've been really involved in the footbag scene, probably since around New Years, lo these ten months ago. I took a year off of school to work a few jobs for the first six to eight months, and 50-70 hour weeks of manual labor really tended to put a dent in my energy by the end of the day. But come around mid january I'm going over to Europe to travel for a while. I know that travelling is expensive, especially in Europe, and I wouldn't last quite so long as I hope without help from some kind friends.
So this is a request to anyone out there in the European area. When are the Jams? I'd love to go to a bunch if there's a friendly couch to crash on. Or show up a few days early and leave a few days late and pay for the drinks or make you dinner or stitch you some bags in exchange!
P.S. Jams not required. I also just love meeting new people so if you want to kick a ball around with me, pretty much at any time shoot me a message and since my plans at this point are completely free, I'll probably make it to you in a week or less!

Buump!
Hello all! Ian Pfeiffer here with an update. I have made it to Europe and I am still looking for more people to play with. I am going to the ODF, but if there are any other tournaments coming up, let me know, I haven`t been finding much in the threads! Oh and of course I`ll make having me around worth it, I`ll buy us whatever we need for party supplies and things like that. In any case, hope to hear from y`all soon!
Ian Pfeiffer

I guess the odf event is the only event in europe this month.

I'm living directly at the boarder of the netherlands and Germany.
So if u need a place to crash here for a few days, just msg me.

Netherlands, I dunno if you've ever been here before?
Anyway, cities I recommend to visit: Maastricht, Utrecht, you might like Alkmaar, famous for the cheesemarket.
And every tourist wants to visit Amsterdam ofcourse, but we got plenty of coffeeshops in every town (with more reasonable prices compared to Amsterdam)

hey again
I just will answer ur question for renke, Nijmegen is 90 km away from Amsterdam. So if you dont take an ICE(very expensive train in germany), so I guess u have to change the train at least once. Maybe nijmegen is on your way till amsterdam.
I moved this month back to germany, not very far from netherlands but on the other hand I have no free time at this weekend for you.
Sorry, I'd like to shred with you.

btw have fun in amstedam, one of my fav cities in all time.
search for the dolphins coffee shop and go down to their basement.
and yea abraxas is also an visit worth.

If you want sneakers or clothing, search for parra or patta shop
and yea for sure, the red light district has his own advantages at the night...

have fun in Amsterdam my friend
I'm there in april, cant wait for it.
