About Me

ABOUT ME

Cosmopolitan adventurer who loves meeting new people. I've managed to live my life, both professionally and personally, on my terms: independently with as much freedom and adventure as possible.
Read my blog on Curaçao at:

PHILOSOPHY

Rudyard Kipling's IF.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling outside the mainstream. Most of the tourism to Curacao is resort oriented. Luckily disruptive economies have seen a boom of local accommodations where you can experience an original side of Curacao.
With this in mind I started my own Hostel in a 110 year old UNESCO Wolrd Heritage listed building in the most vibrant and bustling quarter of Willemstad, Otrobanda.
Though I would like to meet up with visitors (did i mention that i'm also a local tour guide?) I will most likely be hosting you in Poppy Hostel Curacao.
Send me a message if you are looking for private rooms at hostel prices.

Interests

I enjoy music, socializing, travel, reading, conversation, building stuff and of course adventure!
