CURRENT MISSION

Live and love life

ABOUT ME

Mostly, and especially amongst friends I am very cheerful, energetic, also very Dutch so sometimes a little blunt (as they say), in for craziness, always interested. I can be a little introvert or quiet at times or in large groups. I like observing. Currently working in the Netherlands as a project manager for national government, but always looking for future possibilities abroad (again). Like concerts, shopping, going for a drink, musea, theatre, sports, yoga, walking tours, nature discovery, etc. Sure I am not the only one in this!

PHILOSOPHY

All a good life requires is a passport and a corkscrew.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a proud citizen of Amsterdam. I like the rest of the Netherlands, too (especially the east and north), and I know a bit about the country and how it came where it is now. I like to share that with visitors from all over. I am not a party-going type, though (some friends will not believe this, but it's true). I prefer a nice chat over a coffee or glass of wine. If I have time, you can stay at my couch, but since I am working full-time, my schedule might get a little packed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been to a few meetings and stuff, and had lots of drinks and coffees during one of my latest trips (China), where I kinda re-involved in CS. On my last visit to Stockholm, I rediscovered the pleasure of a couch there waiting for you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climb up the Moses mountain with my sister in the Sinai desert, in the midst of night, under falling stars and watching the sun come up after a brisk walk.

See the Northern Light in northern Sweden with newly made friends.
