‼️ UPDATE: 2025 and partly 2026 away with my van 🚐! - SO CURRENTLY *NOT* HOSTING!! ‼️❌ -📍🇪🇸 Dutch (ex-)model and Veterinarian (UGhent 2020) I grew up on the dutch countryside surrounded by farms. I used to be a scout, and loved to go dancing and horseriding. When I was 18 I moved to Belgium (Antwerp and Ghent), where I studied veterinary medicine. Additionally I did an Erasmus semester in wonderful Leipzig (Germany)❤️ Then I worked full time, as a veterinarian in a companionship animals practice, in the south of the NL during 2 years. That’s when I quit my job and started my trip to South America, doing volunteer work as a veterinarian/ with the goal to help the street animals there! 🐶 My 1 year trip to Latin America to work with street dogs, turned into a 2,5 year travel across the continent. Lived in multiple countries, worked in tourism and with kids, made friends from many different places, learned a lot and grew immensely as a person, and so much more (too much to write here, but feel free to ask me in person!) definitely a life changing experience! 🤗♥️ In my free time I love sports, outdoor activities and being in nature, but also reading, painting/ drawing, cooking etc. My biggest passion of all, however, is travelling; whenever and wherever I can - the world is such a wonderfull place, let’s discover it! 🌍🦋 Please read my profile before sending a request! Introvert, like to sleep early & don’t drink alcohol, so if you’re looking for someone to go to bars or parties probably isn’t me 😅 (only exception: dancing salsa and bachata 💃). My vibe: going camping, hiking, climbing, surfing, just being in nature 🌌🧗♀️🏔🍃🌊✨🌔

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
Because the most spontanious and awesome adventures come from meeting new people and sharing experiences I think the best way to get to know a country is through locals! I love meeting and talking with new people from different countries or cultures, or with different mindsets! I’m always openminded to hear your opinion or viewpoints, and think we can all learn something from everyone! I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, get to know their city and culture, and find/offer a place to stay. I'm NOT interested in using it as Tinder.
