About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You onlylive once,might as well make the best of it.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Netherlands,lived and worked there until I got the travel bug.
Whilst travelling on my own I bumbed into my now fiance,in Nepal.
We travelled on and off together and separately,until I decided to move to Manchester.
There I worked for 4 years and lived together with Dave.
Dave is a sports teacher for a secondary school,I took a career break to be able to travel and dave just quit.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept what you can't change but change what is unacceptable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not hosted as we are travelling but would like this to change when we are settled somewhere.
I thought it was a great idea but was a bit scared to really go for it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet,but would love to change that soon!!

We both love English and American rock bands and dance music.
Enjoy going out but also love a nice meal with a good bottle of wine.
Can't beat a good music festival.
Love walking.cycling,sight seeing,exploring, meeting new people and trying new food MMMMMM!!!!.
