I'm a 27 year old journalist, born and bred in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experiences with CouchSurfing were my roommates hosting several people from all over the world. I liked it so much that I started hosting people as well. After surfing myself a couple of times in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia and Alicante), I haven't been active for a while. But CouchSurfing brought me nothing but great experiences and I'm looking forward to meeting more people from all over the world this way!

Unfortunately looking for a permanent place to stay right now and not able to host anyone 'till then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paddling in a canoe enjoying the sun and a view that consisted of nothing but some beautiful and quiet bounty islands. That was living in the moment...

Teach, Learn, Share

Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard once said: 'Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom'. Keep challenging yourself, do things that may scare you - it tends to take you where you actually want to go in life!
