ABOUT ME

Hey/Hi/Hola/Salut/Ciao/Oi!
Every once and a while my adventurous inside starts to get restless and the internet is 'abused' to fill my travel needs! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wanna know more about Holland or other places I have been?! Let me know! There is just no better way to get to know a country than with a local!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Couchsurf experience was great thanks to Eric Schmider from Boston. I went to visit my friend in St. Martin and I could book a ticket where I would have 24 hours in Boston. I went looking around on CouchSurfing en came across Eric. He showed me around and took me to this great restaurant! Very nice and fun to talk to someone completely outside of your life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done was quiting my job one day and one week later being in Australia with just me, my backpack and some cloths. Also Studying in Florida and meeting a lot of great people was an experience. Unexpected trips other advised me not to do, always turned out to be the best!
