About Me

Hallo hallo !
It’s probably nice for you to get a bit of context.
So, I have been working as an assistant architect for the past two years. And as much as I love my coworkers, the office atmosphere and the work itself, I feel like it’s time for some change. I’m a bit tired of the computer work and super excited about a hands-on job, a new adventure, a bit of no comfort zone, … I’d love to learn a ton of things and get to know myself a bit better (I feel like I have used all the clichés now :) ). So here I am, in Colombia!

As a person I consider myself kind, thoughtful, grateful, enthusiastic, but also calm.
Hmmm, I don’t know what else to tell you. Maybe some things I care about deeply or enjoy a lot: (the warmth of) my family, the environment, adventure, the refugee crisis, animals, the beauty of nature, feeling connected, asking a million questions, the sea and the underwater life, cooking, trying new things, climbing, books, …
I feel like there are sooo many things to learn and discover about the world and all the people and their culture and animals and plants that are living here. I get surprised all the time, which is always really nice :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would genuinely love to learn about the culture, about you, see the city or the nature through your eyes, about the local food, about the local music, about how you see life, about ....

Also at the moment I am trying to learn Spanish, so I would love to meet someone who wants to practice his/her English with me :) bit of a language exchange.

Interests

Lately I've been enjoying trying new things. From simple stuff as building a bird house, a new hobby or my little "making a dish from all the countries of the world" - project to more difficult things (or at least for me) as learning a language or trying to understand topics as the refugee crisis or myself :)
So I'm honestly interested in anything, anything you enjoy doing or know a lot (or a little) about!
