I was born and raised in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. Between 2010 and 2020 I lived and worked in five different countries, which played a big role in shaping my love for travel and cultural exchange. While running a guesthouse in Cambodia, I was introduced to Couchsurfing and really enjoyed the openness, connections, and shared experiences it brought. Since COVID things slowed down a bit, but now I’m back in Vlaardingen and feeling excited to travel again, meet new people, and exchange stories along the way.
