ABOUT ME

Annelies RijkenMaak je eigen badge

It's alway hard to describe yourself but let's give it a try. Most people describe me as a funny, helpful and social. When it comes to cleaning I am a bit of a control freak but for anything else I am not. This can be an advantage when you host me ;). I like sports. I tried a lot of different sports but after a while I get bored again. At the moment I only do fitness to keep my core strong enough to support my crappy back. But on vacation I always try to find a place where I can windsurf.
In weekends I prefer to chill with some friends or family. I don't like noisy clubs and prefer cosy pubs. I like to play boardgames.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to write a cliché and I think I still have to find one ;)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted 8 times now and I always tried to help my surfers and let them feel at home. I also helped some people from exchanging programs to get to know the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience as a host was great. I hosted a very nice couple for 5 nights and we became friends. The guy even even made a painting on my wall which is so cool and will always remind me on my first couch surfing experience. We still see each other once in a while. 2 years ago I moved and he made a new painting so from that moment we made it a tradition. After 10 years we are still friends, I went to their wedding and we visit each other on a regular basis. Because of this I went to Sofia a lot so according to my friend Tony I am half Bulgarian now.

音乐、电影和书籍

This is a hard one. I don't really like reading because It's hard for me to concentrate and I can never find a comfortable position :P. When it comes to music I don't have a particular style I like but I know what I don't like ;)
And about movies I just can't choose.
So actually I wrote something but you still don't know anything ;)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Nothing special I guess...

教，学，和分享

Well sometimes I can fret a lot about the future and serious stuff so I think I can learn a lot about letting go and go with the flow. I am working on it but I think I can find some people here who can inspire me.
What I can teach? A funny language you won't be able to use anywhere ;) (Dutch).
