Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love to travel. It gives me such a sense of adventure and self assuredness. I love to travel alone with a minimal plan and impress myself with how many new things I can see, the new people I can meet. It feels great. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet more people and hear more stories when I travel. Also, as a student, I need to save all the money I can for more adventures.

Música, películas y libros

Usually I listen to instrumental music during the day. I ease my homesickness with bluegrass music and the occassional country ballad :)

Currently I read teenage novels in the Dutch language.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Move across the world for love.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I always love to learn a new and special recipe, a new ingredient, spice or technique.

Or Help me learn your language. I don't mind sounding like a complete fool. I'm used to it, and I the look on a person's face when I am able to say something to them in their native language.

I can teach you: English, Dutch, all about trees and flowers, and I'm a pretty good needleworker if that's your thing.

I can share: my own couch in Rotterdam, NL and stories

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am a laid back but friendly woman who is happy to spend an evening sharing joke and stories. I love to chat, but I don't need to be babysat. I can entertain myself if you are busy.
